Phone lines are a rather odd additive to give to your livestock, especially if you don't notice it until it's too late. If that had got into the chopper it would either have got tangled in the machinery or it would have been ripped to feed sized shredded phone cable. I'm not a farmer myself, but I must say these phone companies don't even bother checking before they put a line over a field.
