Pictures Identifying dried ragwort in hay

[HD15]

I think I might have found dried ragwort in the hay today. I'm not 100% sure though (I did find some live stuff around our arena) and was wondering if anyone had any experience?

I put the leaves in oil to try and open them up a bit. The bit I think looks most conclusive on the little leaves attached to the stalk, that "rocket" (as in the salad leaf ) style.

Dont think it is but not an expert tbh

Hmm, not sure the petals look right for ragwort... not rounded enough?

Okay thanks! I got worried because I found live ragwort on the property and they bale their own hay.

This is the only picture of dried ragwort in hay that I can find otherwise... http://www.livingthelifeofriley.co.uk/blog/category/rag-fork-blog/

If I had to take a punt I would say it looks more like something like creeping buttercup (fine when dried in hay) than it does ragwort.

I would agree, but if in doubt, take it out

I was going to say Buttercup too.
