It's official then. Cattle aren't fed on beans. Settled.


Silly! I didn't say that at all, I just said it wasn't something I had come across before.

My theory is that cattle struggle to open the cans (and who hasn't had that same problem at least once!).

They should be given special can openers designed for the use of cattle. ;D

That is a new one on me, I have never heard of beans being used as cattle fodder before, what sort of beans?
Field beans, such as the Martock bean. Been grown for animal fodder for centuries.

The clue that I got was when a local farmer said to me, 'the beans I grow are used as animal fodder'.

Funnily enough I wasn't seriously suggesting that you and Shaker play Rock, Paper Scissors to decide which of you should make the ultimate sacrifice.
