[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 157977, member: 57"] Diamonds, you'll find that ergot is a mysterious subject and hard to find information about. i never even heard of it until a few years ago. our rye and wheat was heading out before the cows got to it and we were feeding oats and wheat haylage too. to make a long story short we had one cow whos foot started rotting (which may or may not have been some kind of foot rot, still dont know for sure) and we had one cow whos teats began rotting and sloughing off (ergot may cause gangrene of the extremities). I think ears and tails are the most common extremeties afflicted. if you can rule out frost bite, and your horse, it may very well be ergot poisoning if you are feeding wheat or oats or anything with a seedhead. as far as i know it looks the same in all..blackish in the seedhead. i dont know what those other grasses are you describe.
