Feeding corn husks to pregnant cows?

[Farmer Kitty]

And when I work in the garden, which is next to the main cattle pasture, I have someone watching me waiting for anything I throw over the fence. Question about bean plants. Ive heard they are in the nightshade family. Isnt this bad for cattle?

Umm, I'm pretty sure beans aren't in the nightshade family. Tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplants are, though. HTH!

They love greenbean plants. Mine have been getting them for years with no problems. The chickens love them too!

I was on a farm call with a local vet. The people had a big steer that was down. Come to find out he had a small green apple lodged in his throat?
I don't know how common this is, but since then, I have always did my best to keep apples away from the cows?

Just like people animals of any sort can chook on their food. We have the hemlic for a reason, it's just awfully hard to apply to a steer. He could have chooked on a wad of hay too. Usually they chew things up and don't have a problem.
