Goatweed, Hypericum perforatum, has long been considered among the most serious of weeds attacking the western ranges. It not only dominates large areas of range land, thus reducing the kind and amount of native forage, but it has poisonous properties as well. Livestockmen had good reason to bless the Chrysolina family of beetles and the men who pioneered their introduction into the goatweed infested range county. They are doing a marvelous job of reducing this weed.
