Always read the herbicide label. Cattle and horses may have to be removed from pastures (referred to as a grazing restriction) for a length of time (usually 7 to 21 days) after herbicide application.

Also, some herbicides may increase the palatability of weeds and poisonous plants. Therefore, it is important to read the herbicide label and follow all grazing restrictions.
