[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1725332, member: 13402"] I had heard of acorn poisoning but that is all, this thread has been very informative and timely. I spoke with a customer/ friend yesterday, he had purchased two bred heifers from us. I asked how they were doing he said heifers were ok but both lost their calves needless to say I was shook, he paid good money for those heifers. i of course wanted details we all know sometimes a heifer will just lose a calf and the how could be any number of things. He said he had a necrospy done and found that they died from the heifers eating acorns which caused renal failure in the fetus. I admit until that conversation I had only heard of it but never though much about it. We have oak trees here but I have no idea what kind and not A lot of them. [/QUOTE]
