[QUOTE="danl, post: 535385, member: 229"] Leave them till winter, if you cut them now the leaves will be in the wilt stage when you get your cattle. They form some type of cyanide in the wilted leaves. I have heard some folks don't think they are poison, I can tell you first hand they are deadly. About ten years ago we had a tornado come through and spent days cleaning up the damage, repairing fences etc. A few days later I found my 2,000 lb bull dead in the middle of the field. couldn't figure out what happened to him until we found a blown down cherry tree we had missed. His tracks were all around it. He must have camped out till the leaves were gone. His were the only tracks around it and he was the only fatality. I cut every cherry tree in the pasture I can find, but only in the winter. [/QUOTE]
