[QUOTE="TexFarmer, post: 1474781, member: 28147"] I do unwrap all my bales. The farmer that I acquired my cattle from in December 2016 did not and he had hay string embedded all in his fields. From time to time we do find hay string in our fields from the previous farmers who did not pick up after themselves, as well as random bits of hardware. I lost an older cow last summer and we found where she had hay string bound up inside her intestines. That older cow was very emaciated and skinny and so the cause of death due to hay string causing malnourishment made sense to me. The cow that died today was one of the largest of my herd, I would grade her a BCS 6 or higher and her death was just so sudden. Unless she swallowed something like a piece of string that bound up or a piece of hardware that ruptured something inside her... [/QUOTE]
