[QUOTE="mind235, post: 416837, member: 6754"] The farmer that lets me use his land etc is not what I would call clean , the vet said something like PPM. Anyway he uses round bales with the orange waxy type twine. Seems he can't bend over to pick up the twine after cutting a bale open. I have picked it up everywhere from the pastures and even my lawnmower. Anyways last week I see little hefier with somem hanging out her mouth and she got lucky and spit it. Last night wouldn't ya know out of 27 head of cattle 1 of my 2 and I might add the one I just PAID FOR 4 HOURS EARLIER shows me a big pile of it hanging out of his mouth. Looked llike a pretty good size birds nest and then 2 -12 inch strings hanging out. AS I watched and tried to chase him down (3 months old pasture) I ended up following him around and last site he had maybe 8 inches hanging out and I assume the rest down his throat. The farmer was with me and said he would step on it and pull it or would go through. The vet said could be dead cow walking. If it passes through the rueimen bad news if it stays in probally be oK. I asked about xray but DMV said would no show up. So anyone with any such bad experience like this and out come? DMV said some are bio but seems to me that finding pieces of it that I know for sure have been half in the dirt and half out since at least last fall I would assume it is not bio. Anyone with good news? What a terrible feeling to wake with and to go to bed with trying to see him to see if he is feeding and not down when the rest of the gang is up. Only savintg grace if there is any got to see this big old longhorn someone stuck in the pasture 6-7 years ago give birth to the cutest looking thing seen. White body with real red spots hald face white half red spilt right down the center. She was cleaning and nursing for 2 days now which is great been told she has had 4 and only nursed one. The bull is at Mcdonalds but I guess he was suppsoed to be half herford and half what ever got over the gate. Real tall and lanky like milk cow not beef calf. Already taller than the spring calves Please someone give me some incouring words or tellm it to me straight. I do know if he starts going off feed or moving off on his own or layig down most time he won't be doing it long. A dumb question now if and I pray he does make it either having caught it with hoof and pulled out but if he did eat it and it stays in the ruemin will that effect his sterility and or over all health or will things just gone on with it stuck in there.
