Yet, the poor, unfortunate horses and cows cannot enjoy the acorn. This is due to the high levels of tannin present in the acorn. And believe you me, tannin toxicity is a bad way to go. It can easily result in digestive ulcers, nausea, liver damage, and kidney failure. One minute you have a cow and some acorns and the next minute you have a cadaver and some acorns. It seems unfair.

Therefore, it is wise to keep your cow the hell away from your acorns.
