Can anyone give me a name for this plant, it is growing on some land that I am about to graze cattle on and need to check that it is not toxic

Its not Lord's and ladies its skunk cabbage so it must be damp ground

It can have some negative side effects on stock so probably worth doing some reading on it. I seem to recall you need to dig it out rather than spray it.
