Before I fenced off the woods, every year I'd have a few cows that would over eat acorns. They'd stand around looking like they had a fever for a day or so. Had a tree get blown down and the stump pulled up white dirt. After that tree went down I noticed all the cows that ate to many acorns would go to that tree and eat the white dirt for hours at a time and the next day they'd be feeling better from to many acorns. Always figured it was like eating rollaids to a cow. LOL Anyway I have the oak trees fence off now and don't see them eating dirt around stumps. I do keep free choice mineral out for them in several mineral feeders for the last 10 years.
