What is this plant?

[FARMTOFIELD]

I've seen this stuff all my life, but it's never stuck out to me until I cleaned a double handful out of a craw yesterday.

Yes, he had several of those in his craw as well

The farmers around here call it yellow top and try to spray and kill it

From what I can find on the world wide web, it's wild buttercup and the turkeys are tearing it up where I hunt

Looks like buttercup. Not the daffodil type

what i am reading says buttercup is toxic to animals. all they mention are farm animals(mammals). must not include birds.

I call it buttercup, and it isn't the same as those bulb plant daffodils.
I have heard they are toxic to cows, most cow people try to spray it I believe. Not sure though, I am no cattleman

yep just sprayed 300 gallon 2-4D yesterday in my pastures, never seen the cows eating them so not sure if they are toxic or not but know they will take a field over if left alone.

I have heard it called yellow top. In Indiana they call it mustard weed.

It's some pretty stuff when it takes over a field. I didn't know it was toxic to livestock

I've heard it called butterweed and wild mustard.

Buttercup. And it can makes cows sick in a hurry. They normally won't eat on it. But once it starts taking over and they get some of it it's like crack to them. And they will get bad sick off it

This isn't mustard, at least the leaves aren't the same

Well I never trusted anyone from Indiana anyway.

The reason you are seeing so much of it this year,the fields were supposed to be sprayed with MCPA in FEB or March but the snow would not allow it.
So now we have buttercups everywhere,they are pretty but pretty much useless.But at least turkeys like it.
