Beever and Hindes The Loco Weed Description
United States Department of Agriculture bulletin describes two poisonous loco weeds Woolly and Stemless loco weed. Woolly loco weed is a silvery perennial native to the Great Plains from Texas to Wyoming, mainly Colorado and western Nebraska and Kansas. It harms horses with a long illness causing hallucinations and emaciation, with fines of extinction and stock losses. Stemless loco weed shares range across the plains to Mexico and up into Colorado, producing similar poisoning symptoms. Both plants are equally harmful to New Mexico livestock interests.
