The pigs will level the field with acorns.they will not even come to corn when the acorns begin to fall.I will work out a balance and post on our success and failures. We are running small pigs.Vietnamese Pot Belly and Julianas, on the same pasture as the Dexters. They also will survive during periods when other trees are stressed. They get covered with a small fleshy seed/berry that birds adore. And we are leaving lots of the deep rooting black gum trees. it would not take much for the stars to line up and I would have acorns as the premier food source on the farm.My woods that are being converted to pasture are covered with mostly white oaks, a scattering of red oak, and a nice sprinkling of post oaks. SO.I am in a position to benefit greatly from your information. Turkeys adore them, and the turkeys follow the same highway to each tree. Post Oak acorns are much smaller and MUCH sweeter. we easily kill 5-10 deer every year in a woods that has scattered post oaks.a small skiff of snow reveals a deer highway that connects all the post oaks. The PREMIUM acorn is POST OAK which is a type of White oak. White oaks thrive where the soil is more compacted and less fertile. White oak trees have a larger root ball that has more downward penetrating roots. There are acorns every year from MOST of the healthy white oak trees.BUT, they boom/bust with the weather.īY THE WAY.running a bulldozer teaches a lot about trees.red oaks are shallower rooted and easier to dislodge. I have killed deer that had a gut with A HALF A WASHTUB of acorns in it.ALL WHITE OAK. White Oak acorns are GENERALLY.smaller, thinner skinned, cap breaks off easily, meatier, and SWEETER. These are the acorns to watch for poisoning. The tannins in red oak acorns is very high. They are larger, with a larger and more tenacious cap, and FAR MORE ASTRINGENT than white oak acorns. Red oak acorns are the least desirable to animals. so there will be SOME every year, usually. Most trees in the woods will cycle on the same are always outliers.like cicadas. Red oak acorns take 2 years to mature.so they are on a boom/bust cycle. My experience with acorns is pretty solid.40 years of noticing their patterns. THANKS for that one.because, I could be in a situation that would cause the problem described in the links !!!! AGAIN, THANKS. I would have ignored the acorns.Like any "farmer", my time and mental energy is in short supply. However, this year, with the drought, we are feeding hay, and the hedge apples are enticing as dangerous, green food.īring it on !!! And I do mean all of it. Normally we would have cool season grasses growing well in the Fall and the cattle would not be so tempted to even eat the hedge apples. After these hedge balls freeze, they soften and can be safely eaten. If you can, either move the cattle to safer pasture areas, or pick up the balls, or put in temporary fencing to keep the cattle away from these until after the first frost. If you have Hedge Apple trees in your pastures or windbreaks, be on the alert when the hedge apples fall to the ground - these hard green fruits can represent a terrible danger to all our cattle. The hedge balls are also smaller this year, just the right size to get stuck when a cow or steer tries to swallow them. Here is what they look like: /īecause of the severe drought we're having, the Osage Orange (aka, Hedge Apple) trees are dropping their hard, green balls several weeks early this year. She bloated and died before we found her. We lost a 3-year old cow yesterday - she had a hedge apple stuck in her esophagus that prevented her from swallowing or burping.
