[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1071522, member: 18809"] Ron I saw a lot of magnets after harvest. Nasty things! Working on a dairy for so many years, I can see why they got that way. We used a feed mixer, so we would grind up the hay and add all the ingredients (citrus, SBM, cottonseed, all kinds)! We mostly saw screws, bolts, washers, and small pieces of wire. The big alfalfa bales were bound with wire. It was definitely a necessity in the dairy industry! When we got new heifers in, we would check them for a magnet and if we could not find one (using a compass), we would put one in. We used the big ones, and you could buy used ones from the local processing facility that were collected from killed cows. [/QUOTE]
