[QUOTE="lilmac, post: 303845, member: 3692"] My place is coverd with post oak, red oak, and blackjack. Last year we had a bumper crop of acorns, the ground crunched when you walked and like Bagtic said the cows would eat them like popcorn. My cows are LH, and LHX. They roam between pastures of bermuda, bluestem, and even a small pasture (5 acre) of fescue. I feed them a small amount of range cubes every day just to keep them comming up so I don't have to go find them and check on them. They had no ill efects of the acorns, in fact they are just as slick and fat as always. :D I don't know if the breed has anything to do with it, but I have always heard that longhorn will thrive where most cows will starve. The LH are like me, they will eat anything, and get [b]fat[/b] on it. :lol: The cows that I worked out west were angus, and herfords. They would eat acorns from scrub oak when they could find them, but not that many to find. Anyway just my 2 cents worth, [i]which is not much[/i]. M[u]ac[/u] [/QUOTE]
