I would visit his Pennsylvania farm when I was a kid, and go with when he made his rounds. It is big time dairy country.<BR/>I stood plenty wide eyed while he opened up a cow stomach, while she was locally anesthetized, standing in the stall, and he removed a magnet and plenty of pasture junk she had injested. <BR/>The cow had been fed a powerful magnet a week before, and it had gathered all the metal junk in her stomach she had eaten in her grazing...a can lid, a piece of barbed wire, bolts, nails...<BR/>My cousin reached into the green grassy churning mass, found the magnet, and removed the metal. Sewed her up.<BR/>Like I said, I stood there with my mouth hanging open. Ol' bossie just turned around on occasion to watch, in between mouthfuls of hay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
