How to Determine If Plants Are Toxic to Farm Animals
I am hoping you are able to tell me what these two plant/trees are. They border my pasture and I am wondering if they are ok to have there or are they poisonous.

Do you live in a warm climate? Is the plant with the white flowers a vine? Neither of these plants are common to zones 7 and 8 where I live so I am not comfortable saying for sure if they are toxic to pasture animals. Your best bet is to bring a sample to the feed store or farm supply store in your area. The ranchers in your neighborhood will know which local plants are toxic to the herd.
