Anyone know what this is? I've got it in the pasture. Everyone says it's good for cattle, but can't come up with a name! It has 7 leaves that look like marijuana, but this plant has small yellow flowers, and grows close to the ground (only 6" tall or so). Any ideas? Is it good, bad,ugly for goats and cattle?

I'm about 95% sure it is Cinquefoil (five leaves), genus Potentilla. It's in the Rose family, looks a bit like its relative strawberries. Shouldn't be toxic or anything, but likely doesn't grow fast enough to be a great pasture plant. Lots of different species, not sure what yours might be. If you want to know more, google Potentilla.

Looks like a kind of wild primrose to me. I don't think it does animals any harm---as the previous reply stated, it grows about a foot tall here in upstate New York. When I was a kid I baled hay for a farmer who asked my then-brother-in-law if it was pot--he looked kind disappointed when he found out it wasn't....seems he thought he had found a good secondary cash crop! What I know as "buttercup" has a spinier foliage and a more intense yellow flower, but I bet there's a dozen species around that share the name--like pigweed, which is a name for a bunch of different plants.

Hope this helps.

Looks like "Buttercup" to me but it grows to a height of a foot or more here in New York state.
