[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 875473, member: 12607"] Wrong. I've seen cattle,in large numbers, gorge and become poisoned on acorns, during heavy mast crop years - especially with acorns from the white oak group; bur oak was a frequent offender in MO - and with plenty of good quality forage available. You could run 'em a bunch of fluids and get 'em up on their feet - and they'd stagger right back - through lush grass - to the oaks to begin eating acorns again, unless you penned 'em up or excluded them from them in some way.
