Oxford Ragwort (Senecio squalidus) is just as toxic to livestock as Common Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea). All the ragworts contain alkaloids which damage the liver and kidneys.

Oxford Ragwort is very common here in Norfolk as it colonises dry pasture but avoids rich, dense grassy fields. Most of our fields are dry, with spare soil.
