General Science / Re: Moo Cow Magnets !!!

As an ex-small scale farmer who's land has a right of way running by it, you'd be amazed at what we used to find in cows stomachs.
What really used to 'get-my-goat'[] was people who would fill up their pooper-scooper bags and then not wanting to carry it home, throw them into my fields - cows are very curious and eat everything!!!
The idea of the magnet was to keep metal, (but not aluminium ring-pulls or drink cans[] ), in the first stomach. I never used them, my cows seemed to specialise in bits of string, aluminium drink cans, rubber balls, McDonalds boxes, sweet wrappers - and the aforementioned pre-wrapped dog-sh*t - non of which are magnetic.
