I'd never heard that specifically, but had learned from Amish country that
when the cows were eating the fences/trees to put Apple Cider Vinegar in
the feed (or was it water?). I noticed some of my youngest lambs have a
liking for some old RR ties in the barn and thought about offering some. I
used the unfiltered, undistilled variety. I've run out of minerals, so
that will be the first order of business to replace.
