Dairy farmers already feed cattle a large magnet to catch any pieces of metal that they might eat in the field so it doesn't travel through their intestines. No use getting squeamish about this kind of stuff, it's just how the sausage is made (well, milk and cheese).

- joezydeco 6y agoMy grandmother used to make these magnets. They were kind of fun to play with.
- noad 6y agoThere is so much pollution in the fields we have to feed the cows magnets to get it out. That is the funniest thing I've read all day.
- anewdirection 6y agoMostly fence nails and 100 year old remneants. Lots of ferric metal can occur naturally and is no better. Its not like garbage or trash as you are so inelequently suggesting. Cows eat nearly anything, so if you take the responsibility for their well-being by raising them, you have to plan accordingly.
- noad 6y agoYeah all the naturally occuring ferric metal in Kansas sure is a plague upon our lands. So much natural ferric material just laying around, I'm getting sick of it all! Let's bring that up instead of talking about the massive amounts of pollution above and below ground. Hilarious.
