While puting supplement out last Friday, I came across a strange pile of something on the side of the road on the ranch. It looked like some sort of thick, red liquid had been dumped. On closer inspection I could see capsules throughout it. After kicking the pile up a little, the red stuff was just on top, underneath was a dry beige colored sandlike textured powder with the same capsules scattered through it.

The capsules had "meta" printed on them and I googled it and it seems that they might be Metamucil fiber capsules. I still can't figure out what the red stuff is or why this pile of stuff is there. There is a large pig farm about 1 mile away from this section of the ranch, but the pig farm is not accessed through our ranch. I don't know if this would have anything to do with it or not. The straw in the pictures is from recent reseeding operations from wind turbine construction. Again, I don't know if this would have anything to do with it or not.

It doesn't look like the cows have been interested in it at all. I am just puzzled as to what it is and why and how it ended up there.

Anyone have any ideas?
