Many places in the Country there are no Large Animal Veterinarians at all.....Fortunately in this area there are several good ones!! Don't wait until your animal is in a life or death situation before you feel the need to form a relationship with your local Vet's....now is the time to get wellness checks, update vaccinations, ask about that "thing" you've been watching for months and get information on what is offered through the local Vet's.

This has been a very tough decision to make. Just pray we see some relief sooner than later as gas prices have historically gone up over summer months.

Wild cherry trees—especially black cherry (Prunus serotina) and chokecherry (Prunus virginiana)—are important in livestock production mainly because of their toxicity risk to grazing animals. They are common along fence rows, wooded pasture edges, and hedgerows throughout much of North America.

When cherry trees become dangerous:

Standing healthy trees are usually less of a problem because livestock rarely consume enough fresh leaves. The greatest danger occurs when:

Storms break limbs
Trees are cut or trimmed
Leaves wilt after falling
Drought or frost stresses the tree

Wilted leaves are especially toxic.

Clinical signs of poisoning
Symptoms can appear within minutes to a few hours after ingestion:
Rapid breathing
Salivation
Muscle tremors
Bright red mucous membranes
Convulsions
Sudden death

Often producers simply find dead animals because poisoning progresses rapidly.

Toxic dose
Research and extension data suggest that:
*About 1.2–4.8 lbs of wilted black cherry leaves may kill a 1,200-lb cow
Sheep and goats require much less plant material for toxicity

The key management principle is:
Prevent livestock access to wilted cherry leaves.

Routine pasture inspection and prompt cleanup of fallen branches greatly reduces risk.
