Boredom or lack of minerals will get them chewing wood. The plastic bag is one of those things. I've seen cows run all the way across the pasture to get to one of them and eat it. When they do I just keep an eye on them, haven't had observable problems yet. I'm aways curious how many they've eaten that I haven't seen them eat.
