> I don't have to speculate if cows are eating Oak leaves or tomato plants they're about starved
Let me first say that these cattle had hay available. The hay isn't top-quality, but they are nothing close to starved. When they start going for hay, that's when I know to open up more stockpiled pasture for them. Also, we have been running cattle the same way for at least 40 years on this pasture and this is the first case of poisoning.
I did find that all the leaves from ground level up to about 4ft were all eaten off a red oak that fell down last month. All signs point to this as the cause. It didn't help that this tree fell with green leaves in a high traffic area and blocked the herd's normal path causing them to make a new path all around the top of the tree.
Anyway, all the old-timers in the neighborhood still tell me it's probably nightshade. I went looking for it, but didn't find any, but that doesn't mean much either.
