[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 886412, member: 17767"] I recently had a cow get sick. She was not eating well and her behavior changed. The vet came and we put her in the squeeze chute. He examined her well and did not find anything wrong. I ask that he put a magnet in her. He did and also put in a couple of medications to get her digestive system back on tract. She is doing fine. We speculated that it may have been related to going on hay. The hay I am feeding is very rich since it has a lot of alfalfa. I worry about cows picking up metal. I have removed a lot of old fence and cleared a lot of my farm with a dozer. Pushing out old fence is going to leave metal no matter how careful you try to be. My question is how frequent is TRP (Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis) or hareware disease and does anyone else put magnets in their cows to help guard against it? [/QUOTE]
