I already know nobody is going to click on OP’s link, so the short version is the magnet is permanently placed down in the cow’s second stomach and it stays there for life, and if the cow eats and nails or pieces of barbed wire, it sticks to the magnet instead of shredding up their intestines.

Wait until you learn about portholes to their stomachs and methane vents people install on cows.

I’ve never known someone who lived around farm animals who doesn’t have at least one story about either a giant boil or having to reach shoulder-deep into an animal to save it’s stupid life because it ate something dumb.

Watch “All watched over by machines of loving grace” BBC, Curtis; might be also on some dread YouTube. The cow portholes were part of (unexpected) scientific disproof of the trite popular wisdom of “Ballance of Nature.” Whole series is a trip, if maybe a bad one.

Fun fact: you can set that methane on fire to make the cow 10% faster

Not anymore, cows now have a restrictor plate to make them more competitive

Literally true. You can reach inside a cannulated cow, but I definitely recommend the longest pair of rubber gloves you can find. The dishwashing kind will not cut it.
