Today's futile effort was to try and locate a farm supply store which sells "cow magnets' These are very strong torpedo-shaped magnets without the fins. They are about three inches long, and as big around as an average grape. The idea is to get a cow to swallow it and it will attract and hold any ferrous scraps the cow may have eaten (such as barbed wire, spurs and belt buckles off slow cowpokes?) and then keep the items from going further into the other two or three stomachs. My question was: what happens next? Do you make them swallow a bigger magnet on a rope and then pull out the smaller one; do they go to their graves with the magnet, and who gets to poke through the deceased to recycle the magnets. (Oregon is very big on recycling). I can't imagine sending one in the other way...
I'll let you know what I learn tomorrow.
