[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1670104, member: 38101"] I'm no fan of feeding plastic to cows. I cut and pull my twines. Sisal is often impractical here because we have so many low runs and tend to get wet falls. I've been using biodegradable plastic for a few years now. At work he shreds or gets bales run through the tub grinder. Tbh you don't see much twine around after processing.and what you see is chopped up so small I'd think it would pass rather than cause a blockage. Don't see many unexplained deaths - I can't remember the last head scratcher. I'd be far more concerned with blockages in a herd where the farmer uses plastic, feeds in rings and isn't very diligent about cutting or getting them all. Cows chewing 20 feet (or more) of twine like bubble gum, when a big wad gets swallowed it can't be good. An awful way to die for sure. If you don't want to cut them use sisal. [/QUOTE]
