Talk:Cow magnet

Slaughter
What happens to cow magnets when the animal is slaughtered? Are they recovered, recycled?

Vandalism
I apologize for that rash of vandalism, a group of middle school students suddenly realized you could edit wikipedia and did not make the best decisions on how to do so. I will attempt to keep them from making a repeat performance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.166.225.204 (talk) 17:42, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Common Usage?
I am curious as to when this became common practice. Any idea? CheersOons 15:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

awnsers
To awnser a couple questions. I have been working with and raising livestock, and cattle since I was born in 1962. Cow magnets have been around alot longer than I can remember, at least since the mid 1900s and possiably since barbwire. I also worked in a major slaughterhouse for 10 years. I was a rendering mechanic for 5 of those. You would be absoutly amazed at the things that come out of a cows stomach. I still have a spent 50 cal. bullet I found, that came out of a cow. Cow magnets in the slaughter house are mechanic toys. Some do recycle them but most find there way to a tool box or scrap bin. I have about 1/2 a coffee can of them. They normally show up on a huge magnet, installed somwhere, to catch metal, before the non meat portions of the cow head for the rendering machines. I would also like to point out that no part of a cow is intentionaly wasted. We reuse everything for somthing. 67.60.57.54 (talk) 07:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! i was wondering about where they end up. When you say, 'recycled', do you mean they get sold back to farmers for new cows, or that they go to a metal recycle place? Seems like you could use them over and over again. OsamaBinLogin (talk) 15:27, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

"bonivial meta-colon"
Can anyone figure out what this is really supposed to say, and then say it?

Because the words "bonivial" and "meta-colon" aren't in my personal vocabulary, nor does Google have a clue what they mean, except where it regurgitates links to this article or copies of the phrase clearly cribbed from this article. 198.207.0.5 (talk) 01:32, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

So much for quick vandalism fixes on wikipedia. This shit is still here 2.5 years after being reported. I guess if something hasn't been noticed for 4 years, it becomes true! "(cur | prev) 19:44, 26 December 2007‎ 69.64.197.235 (talk)‎ . . (1,726 bytes) (+73)‎ . . (undo)"
