Yes, wilted wild cherry leaves can be poisonous to both horses and cattle, thusly the nickname "Calf Killer" tree. The leaves and inner bark of the wild cherry tree contain cyanide compounds which are detrimental to livestock. A rash of still born colts in Kentucky was attributed to wild cherry leaf consumption by the dams.

Is Ragweed poisonous to horses?

No. Common ragweed (Ambrosia Artemisiifolia) is not poisonous to horses. Horses and cows will occasionally eat ragweed, though usually when other roughage is scarce. The 50+ horses on our farm eat it, and I've never had any problem with it, and the donkeys at my house consider it a delicacy. Wild cherry, however, is highly toxic to horses (when the leaves are wilted Though most savvy horses avoid it, if you see your horse eat some wilted leaves off a fallen branch, call your vet. If you are worried about the plants growing in your pasture, check a list of poisonous plants for your area to access the danger. Just use common sense, most horses will avoid things that they shouldn't eat, unless they're starving.

What are ALL the plants poisonous to donkeys and goats?

I don't know anything about donkeys but here is a list of the poisonous to goats! * African Rue * Andromeda (related to foxglove) * Avocado- South American Avocado leaves/tree such as Haas or crosses with Haas * Avocado- Fuarte (definitely) * Azalea * Brouwer's Beauty Andromeda * Boxwood * Calotropis * Cassava (manioc) * China Berry Trees, all parts * Choke Cherries, wilting especially * Choke Cherry Leaves in abundance * Datura * Dog Hobble * Dumb Cane (diffenbachia) (Houseplant) * False Tansy * "Fiddleneck"- know by this common name in CA. It is a fuzzy looking, 12" to 15" plant, with small yellow blossoms, shaped on a stem shaped like the neck of a fiddle. * Flixweed * Fusha * Holly Trees/Bushes * Ilysanthes floribunda * Japanese pieris (extremely toxic) * Japanese Yew * Lantana - appears on both lists * Larkspur- a ferny, flowering plant in shades of blue, pink and white. * Lasiandra * Lilacs * Lily of the Valley (Pieris Japonica) * Lupine - appears on both lists: Seeds are the part of the plant that are the greatest problem. * Madreselva (Spain) patologia renal * Maya-Maya * Monkhood * Milkweed * Mountain Laurel * Nightshade- appears on both lists: Whether this is really poisonous is questionable because I have received a post saying "my goats eat nightshade all the time". We also have a lot of Nightshade on own property and none of our goats have died from it. I tend to think it is ok in moderation. * Oleander * Pieris Japonica (extreamly toxic) * Rhododendron * Rhubarb leaves * Tu Tu (the Maori name for Coriaria arborea) * Wild Cherry, -wilted- leaves (fresh and fully dried are not poisonous) * Yew GOATS RULE!

How long do wilted cherry tree leaves stay poisonous to horses?

They will always be poisonous. The best course of action is to pick up each leaf, and dispose of it away from the pasture. Do not burn the leaves, for the horses can inhale the poison, and trust me, that's an extra run to the emergency room in the middle of the night.
