[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1838499, member: 42782"] In Oregon it rains so much the round bales are made out of green grass completely covered with plastic so it makes a sort of silage called haylege. The small square bails and 700lb square bales are held together with plastic baling twine. I see folks gathering it up and tying it on handy fence posts so cows won't swallow it. This heifer I raised tries to vacuum up twine because cattle have those little one way hooks in their mouths. I sometime find twine tied to fences several feet of which have been chewed. The previous owner did this with the twine. I remove all the twine and any hardware such as fence clips or bits of wire are also removed even if I have to find them with a magnet. I learned this from my rancher husband. [/QUOTE]
