I have spotted spurge. I watched a sheep eagerly eating it this morning. It didn’t seem to faze her.
yeah they seem to love it. Evidence Spot with a mouthful - I didn't know until today that it was not a good thing. Wonder if there is something that is lacking in their diet or they need it for some other reason. I'll for sure be pulling the stuff up and getting rid of it. I won't freak out over it yet.

I’ve watched sheep eat things I know are toxic, but they are eating other plants too, so maybe it dilutes it?
Wilted peach leaves! Treat! Wilted stone fruit leaves are supposed to knock them dead….. Mine ate them with gusto.

If you get them figured out, will you let me know?
