[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1465170, member: 16453"] It would be stuff that has built up in her oesophagus and not made it into the rumen because there has been a temporary impaction there, similar to the apple that angus9259 has seen. It would seem that the texture of what you are feeding her she has difficulty swallowing it properly. I used to see it occaisionally in horses eating lucerne hay from the ground we called it "choke" and would have to work it through with a stomach tube and sometimes with the help of a softener. With those horses I found feeding them from a hay net or elevated feeder helped to slow them down, extend the neck and aided by gravity, also those with rugs on the neck strap would dig in restricting swallowing when eating off the ground.
