One of the loads of hay we bought earlier this fall has some wicked thorny plant in it. Here's a picture (it's hard to see the thorns but they run all the way up the stem, including up into the leaves). It has a yellow berry about 1/2" in diameter. Can anyone tell me what this is? Aside from the unpleasantness of getting pricked picking up a flake to feed out, I'm wondering whether it's safe. We're in MA and so this came from somewhere in the northeast.
Thanks!
