Is there any relatively easy treatment for acorn toxicity?

[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1720858, member: 6291"] We are in the land of live oak trees. In certain years the ground beneath them is solid acorns. I can say with out a doubt we have never lost one cow to acorns. I can't say I have even even seen them eat them. The will skin any oak leaf that groes with in reach though. In these cases are acorns the best source of food going? I wonder what draws the cattle to them. I'm thinking Brahmans may have a higher tolerance for them. Apparently green leaves and other plants can cause the same effect. Brahman cattle will go right down a brush line eating on leaves and things if the need to with no I'll effect. [/QUOTE]
