[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 135153, member: 968"] No. Baling twine is not considered hardware. Harware is something METAL that can irritate or puncture. BUT, baling twine can KILL. If they ingest enough, it will compact there inners & cause a total blockage. Also, depends on their size. A big cow can consume quite a large amount of twine & pass it with their manure. A calf eating the same amount might get a blockage. Also, I believe a cow can consume a larger amount of PLASTIC twine and it can just sit in their gut. If they accumulate enough, it interferes with the amount of feed they can consume to maintain their body weight, milk, etc. [/QUOTE]
