[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1225164, member: 14261"] Persimmons can cause bloat and horses will colic. I had a friend growing up, she had a masters in horticulture. Their 20 acres was like a golf course. She had 2 horses, no cows. Every day she mowed a section of the pasture with the riding lawnmower. And scooped up every single manure pile to be placed on the compost pile. SUPER industrious person, she was. That pasture was beautiful. And then the overhanging oaks from the neighboring property had a bumper crop of acorns one year. After they had lived there for 1.5 decades. And the two horses foundered, abcessed, and eventually after a grueling year plus battle with the hooves, they had to be put to sleep. Cows can get very sick from overconsumption of acorns. Once they have a taste for them, they will go back to them time and time again. Yet other people feed the netwrap to their cows, have all sorts of hazards, and nothing ever comes of it. [/QUOTE]
