[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 970873, member: 17767"] In another thread you discussed what you see in cattle stomachs. I see old broken down fence wire on my farm, both barbed wire and woven wire. Sometimes it is laying flat and mostly buried so would probably be grazed over. Othertimes I find a piece of wire sticking up so that it would be in the zone where an animal would catch it with the scything action of their tongue as they sweep the grass to grip with their mouth. I have wondered about two things. First, when a cow senses the nature of what she sweeps into her mouth, if it feels unnatural, does she have the abilities to reject it? Second, do you believe that the wire that is swallowed mostly ends up causing no harm or do you believe there is a high incidence of harm? Lastly, where do you see most of the hardware (which part of the stomach)? I guess I just thought of another question, do you believe magnets provide a high enough level of protection to place them in your cows? [/QUOTE]
