Do cattle avoid daffodils?

We'd like to get the cattle in to graze the sides of our lane, but there are daffodils growing amongst the grass.

Are daffodils a problem for cows or will they neatly avoid the problem and eat round them (like they do for our nettles)?

Well, to answer my own question, we've avoided the problem ourselves by pulling the remaining daffodil leaves and stems out. Now we don't need to worry about it until next year (assuming the bulbs survive).
