Edit- I feel like my answer needed more detail..cattle will rarely eat milkweed by choice, it's sap is caustic. Deer and rabbits can eat it and a few other insects. It would take A LOT of milkweed to be fatal to a cow or a horse, they'd basically have to be in a situation where milkweed was their only food source. Narrow leaved varieties of milkweed are usually more toxic than the broader leafed, so if you're concerned, do some homework and pick a native species that poses less threat.

Indeed a lot to be fatal for full grown animals but not near as much to cause cows to miscarry or really hurt young ones. I don't care how much feed they have in a trough a cow will stick their head through a fence and eat everything they can reach. The grass is always greener on the other side. Milkweed seeds use the wind to spread so even if you plant it in your little planter this year it can be wherever the wind blows next year.
I'm not against planting it, just be mindful of your surroundings if ya do. If you wouldn't want somebody planting something even mildly toxic for your pets don't plant something toxic to theirs.

Lots of milkweed in the area already.
