[QUOTE="stocky, post: 283941, member: 1150"] This could be a very bad year for acorn "poisoning" With the bad drought, there is very little grass and a huge acorn crop. The cattle love acorns and without grass to cushion them, the acorns pack into the stomach and the sharp tips slice the stomach walls. The walls become infected and many times the animal will die, not because of the acorn being poison, but because of the damage the acorn did that allowed the infection and internal bleeding. I have seen dead cattle that were cut open and their stomachs were packed full of acorns and were completely dry. Just like a packrats nest would look. [/QUOTE]
