I have some heifers from my neighbour for summer grazing on my permanent pasture since many years. As I started with some wool-shedding Easycare sheep now, I had them grazing there this spring before the cows came in. My neighbour was shocked when he brought his cows and saw all the pieces of shedded wool in the gras !
He said that the heifers will pick up the wool with the gras, the wool will bung up to big balls in their digestive tract and kill them at the end.
Can that really happen and what are the experiences around ??
