Cow Magnets

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

My usual daily puzzle solving at E-Crostic Software – E-Crostic Software led to a solution I had to check out for corroboration. Several articles from several years ago seemed to verify the puzzle’s assertion and the most comprehensive one I have found so far is at: Not Exactly Rocket Science
Power lines disrupt the magnetic alignment of cows and deer

Is this something you already knew? Or were you as surprised as I am?

2

Just what is the assertion that is being checked out here?

3

My best guess is that there’s evidence that cows and deer are sensitive to the earth’s magnetic field and align themselves accordingly while grazing. The article explains more, but that’s the gist of it.

4

YOUR best guess?? You posted the question! If you don’t know what it’s about, there’s not much hope for the rest of us.

And here I thought this thread was going to be about actual Cow Magnets:

It’s always good to know you can feed your cow more than one magnet if you have to.
