[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11890"] My guess would be bored. It's a learned thing, so each year there will be a greater number of them having "learned" to chew on stuff. We have several that will run down a plastic store bag that happens to blow through the pasture. They'll gnaw on it for hours and never really eat much. Just messin around. dun > I have several cows that have are > chewing any rubber items they can > find, tires, garden hoses, > electrical wiring, etc. While I > have noticed this for years, the > chewing has markedly increased > lately both in the time spent and > in the number of head > "chewing".
