Well, too bad. It's a large, powerful magnet, in the shape of a capsule pill. They're given to cows because sometimes they're stupid and eat metal objects and eating metal can make them sick and suffer, which isn't cool. Sometimes these magnets can be released back into nature but that's rare. So if you walk around a pasture long enough with a steel rod pointed at the ground you might find one; it'll stick to the rod. Kind of like hunting meteorites, but shittier.

That can't be a thing! That is insane. Although I find myself now bizarrely tempted to force for shitty magnets in a cow field!!
It's a thing alright, but only done when deemed necessary. A cow's guts are, different. The magnet is supposed to drop into a spot and stay there, forever, collecting metal, so those objects can't pass through to the next stage of digestion, because that's where the damage can occur. You know how they like to barf and chew on it? Sometimes that'll bring the magnet up, and out. Cow might then shit on it as it's walking because that's what they do. I don't recommend picking a side and reaching in in order to find one, even if you do have long arms. It's not like finding the prize in the cereal box. If you really want one bad enough, you can buy them anywhere they sell cow stuff. That's the easy way. But don't swallow it. You're not a cow.
I get the intention bit fucking hell that's nuts. I am off the mind that if an animal is meant to survive then survive it will. Isn't this sooner kind of evolution denying device!!
Damn you humanity!!!
If you took away all the fences (main source of nails and wire), cows would be extinct in a year or two after eating and trampling all the crops and gardens then gorging on mouthfuls of beer cans found on the side of road (mixed in with the grass, they can't see it, they just reach down and chew), which would make vegans and environmentalists hate cows even more, and all the predator species would boom, then bust, dying of obesity and shit. Then you got human corpses everywhere because they starved while the bugs take over. All we're left with is this goddamn blockchain nobody can use because bugs shouldn't be anywhere near computers.
Dude. This is why I insist magnets are fucking awesome.
I heartily agree!!
I just never realised there was such depth to the damn things. I also never realised just how dumb cows were. But then it would really be obvious. Its amazing how much they have bred survival out of them!
They can't even negotiate holes in the ground! Add in a few gophers trying to live their days. Then big bad badger comes along and makes the holes bigger so she can fit down there and eat the gophers because nature doesn't like infestations either. That's like a minefield for a cow. One twisted leg and they can't support their weight. Newborn calves; the magpies swoop in and start eating their eyes!
Did you know that magpies can use other animals eyes to see? First they swallow them whole and then some magic DNA stuff happens in their insides and then the eye bulges out of their rectum but actually works so they can see behind them. Its one of their many amazing survival tricks
