Animals that eat buttercup may suffer from blistering of the mouth and internal parts of the gastrointestinal tract, diarrhea, colic, and, in severe cases, death. The toxin protanemonin is released when the plant is chewed or otherwise wounded and is present in all parts of the plant. Buttercups are sometimes classified as short-lived perennials, but often grow as winter annuals.īuttercup is toxic to all species of livestock. In fact, many fields that have dense buttercup populations are fields heavily grazed by animals during the fall through the early spring months.


As a cool season weed, this plant often flourishes in over grazed pasture fields with poor stands of desirable forages. Tired of looking out across your pastures/hay fields and seeing that “sea of yellow” every spring? One of the signs that spring has arrived is when the yellow flowers of buttercup begin to appear, but it’s during the winter months that the vegetative growth of buttercup takes place.
