Ranchers, check your turned tire waterers

[Faster horses]

I got this in an email from my Vigortone Area Sales manager and
thought it worthwhile to pass on. I hope the pictures transfer.

NOPE, they didn't transfer. Can anyone tell me how to get those pictures transferred from my email to here? Seeing this might save some cattle.
Thanks.

Can't tell ya how many outfits I've worked for, where I've seen tire-waterers in that condition, and have always 'wondered' about the risk of potential hardware deaths...whenever/wherever possible, I always took the initiative to use a smaller pair of bolt-cutters to trim off the flayed-ends of the steel belting poking through...and never say a word about it afterwards; nobody ever thinks of these things but 'pessimists' like me I guess...

Will have to mention this to my neighbor.... He just put a bunch of tires in last year or so.. Nothing should be bad yet but I will just remind him since he would do the same for me..

that is the same reason I will never feed ditch hay. Chunks of that wire will kill them for sure and magnets wont help due to pieces of rubber attached.

i have 4 of them, but they're lightly-used, by horses--is this something i should be concerned about?
