Apparently, cows eat clothes. I personally haven't seen it. My mother tells the story of how her sister's Sunday best clothes were gobbled up by cows. They had done their washing and were playing a game or something. The rule was someone would watch the clothes whilst the others played. On that day whatever game they were playing was too absorbing. Her sister, my aunt had to make do with odds and ends from other relatives until the next Christmas. We only got new clothes at Christmas back in the day.
