Plants that practice the martial arts

Hairy vetch, poison ivy and poison oak can cause strong immunological responses in livestock. However, if producers keep a close eye on their animals, they can sleep soundly at night, even in these plants’ presence.

Mike Hsu

In areas like California’s East Bay Regional Parks where about 65% of the land is grazed by livestock – visitors might see goats, sheep and, most likely, cattle.
