Cattle eat all kinds of things. They often eat wire, nails, scrap metal and other forms of metal that is not good for them (obviously.) Because of this, they created a strong magnet in the shape of a cylinder. They are about three inches long and one half of an inch wide. You force the cow to swallow this magnet and theoretically all the metal sticks to it and eventually makes its way out of the cow (youch!) I wonder if these cattle magnets have anything to do with this phenomenon. Unfortunately, I grew up around cattle. Cattle eat all kinds of things.
