I've been googling but I'm too tired and, honestly, too thick to understand what I'm reading. Trying to help a friend out as she is also confused.
There are two plants that share similar names, tansy and tansy-ragwort.
Tansy is Tanacetum vulgare. Tansy-ragwort is Jacobaea vulgaris (synonym Senecio jacobaea)
She has always thought that tansy is not really toxic and tansy-ragwort is very toxic and dangerous.
The horses always avoid tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) but the goats just hoover it up. She will generally pull it if she finds it though. Always pulls tansy-ragwort (Jacobaea vulgaris) of course.
So can anyone help clear it up for us?
