[QUOTE="chippie, post: 688309, member: 5644"] You are taking a huge risk feeding your cattle pears and apples. Because cows do not have upper incisors, you are increasing the risk of choke. They can not bite the fruit in half like a horse does and cattle do not chew their feed like a horse. So there is the possibly that the cow does not chew the fruit and swallows it mostly whole. If I remember correctly, there was a poster last year who lost a cow by feeding her pears. She got one lodged in her throat and it did her in. If your pecans are any count, I would sell them before feeding them to livestock. [/QUOTE]
