My boy is getting into skeet & trap shooting and we thought about getting a skeet thrower to shoot out in the pasture. We have cows out there and I was wondering if these things were harmful to cows?? Dr. Google says its safe for cows but will kill the hell out of pigs!! Thought I'd ask abut yalls experience??

Last box of clays I bought years ago had the warning about pigs printed on the side of the box. I have to believe were cows in danger it'd on the box too. You dang sure don't want to wrong though.

Shot the heck out of them in the pasture, never hurt a thing.

The ones they make now are safe for cattle as far as I know. They used to say they were poisonous to cattle.

I looked at some in academy yesterday and they didnt warn anything about animals. Just stated that they will mess up the soils ph of an area if alot are there and that the area may need limed more often.

If they killed cattle all ours would have died years ago. A cow will eat the snot out of a spent hull though. Pick them up.

The only problem I have seen with Clays and cattle is that the shards are sharp and COULD cut the hooves if there were a lot of them. Pigs will eat them and the sharp edges will cut the pig's gut. I believe there are newer ones that are bio degradable. I set up so that the clays land in a pond (mostly) so there is nothing on the ground for the cows to step on.
I had a friend of a friend who said that the clay shards were bad for cows, but i don't trust him to tell the God's truth about anything.
