[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8018"] Hi, It is widely published that pine needles may cause abortions in cows during the third trimester. However, ....does anyone know anything about the risks of cows eating pine needles when in the first trimester or even when running with the bull? Does it cause early miscarriages too or perhaps even act as a contraceptive? I am not planning to feed pine needles as such - but several of my paddocks have large pine trees in them and the cattle do like to munch on them every so often. Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
