moved the bullocks this evening to new grass. . and F me, but out off all the grass, one of the bullocks found brown tape in the barbwire (from a site not too far away from me, another story with rubbish blowing across)

but he swallowed about 2-3 foot of this stuff (u know the brown tape around cardboard boxes)

i tired to get him to pull it out, but he kept running away. . .

This reminds me of the the story tommy tiernan told about the donkey on the aran islands that swallowed a sheet of black plastic and tried to pass it out It was a good one

having done a bit of work in a factory you wouldn't believe what comes out of cattle's stomachs. he will be grand. most animals, bar diet fed ones, have balls the size of watermelons of silage wrap and net wrap and twine in them. rope, is another popular one and the odd small chain. all knotted up like it was tied.
