[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1536749, member: 12607"] Not to excess... and some will, during 'on' years with a heavy mast crop. In my experience, the white oak group (white, bur, chestnut, etc. ) tend to be a bigger problem, but if a large crop of red/black oak acorns was present, they could also cause issues. [url=http://www.thecattlesite.com/diseaseinfo/195/acorn-poisoning/]http://www.thecattlesite.com/diseaseinf ... poisoning/[/url] Deer and goats have proline-rich salivary proteins which inactivate the tannins, which are presumed to be the damaging component in acorns and oak buds, and thus can eat them with impunity... but cattle lack these salivary proteins, and mustn't eat 'all they want'.
