[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 612863, member: 5106"] Thanks Dun, I was looking for an article before and couldn't find one just for cattle.. Now I have to say this is a falsity ,and know from experience. When we finally got to go away for a week at the dairy we had someone help out with our herdsman to limit the load. He was allowed to feed (which was not approved by us) and did not remove any twine before putting it into the feed mixer., The result was BAD two days after we got back we had to have the vet out as a couple of cows were going down fast ,,we did all we could to save them and then end result (after PM) was a total impaction from TWINE.. I can't remember what we did after that for the whole herd ,that was Mr. HD's responsibility as I had my hands full with sick babies that were completely neglected..So much more but not related to the thread...Now I don't go anywhere, hey at least I know what the h@ll is going on.. :lol2: Sometimes you miss a strand, especially if it is the starter strand ,but do your best to get them all; most importantly if you have little ones eating them, as it does not take long to kill one with a chunk of twine.. :( [/QUOTE]
