Bellies full of sand!!

[CopeMan]

Ive heard that in Florida and other deep southern states that have alot of sand in the pasture that cattle have to have there stomachs pumped at least once a year because all the sand consumed sits in the belly and wont pass. Is this true?

Nope

 

[Beefy]

That's a first :shock: . The part of our ranch that is pastures, not hills full of rock and mesquite, is all sandy. We've never had any problems that we know of with consuming too much sand.

I had one that got full of sand one time. My Dad fed her Portland cement and mineral oil. Went to the pen one morning and found a whole pile of bricks laying there! ;-)
We sold her to the brick plant but they killed her trying to make "12 inch-cement blocks"! :roll:

If you are severly short of copper, calves will sometimes ingest enough sand to kill themselves. Lost 2 week old calves that way once.
