Is there any relatively easy treatment for acorn toxicity?

[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1725339, member: 9096"] talking to some ranchers around here, one guy didn't feed his cows for too long going into the winter, so they went into the forest to eat ponderosa pine needles Couple days later he had 100 aborted calves... Some cows will browse on them for fun, but most won't.. either way, I've waged war against pines around my grazing fields.. I've had a number of abortions from them, one every year or two, so not like it was a sweeping disease, we'd figured they'd fought, slipped, fell, etc... then I found there was a certain timeline to it.. a few days after a heavy snow, where the branches of the trees would get weighed down and they could reach them again. since then, I've done everything I could to keep them away from pines, cold, wind, rain be darned, they're not going in the draws for shelter.. haven't had any since! Once they get the taste of something it can be really hard to break them of the habit [/QUOTE]
