What Is a Cow Magnet Used For?

Cow magnets come from farming, where cattle can pick up stray wire or nails while grazing; this type of magnet was originally used to protect a cow's stomach from such metal. In the classroom, that story makes a good opening question about which materials a magnet attracts and why the shape suits the job. The smooth, rounded cylinder then serves as a strong hand-held magnet for lifting chains of paper clips, testing unknown materials and comparing field strength with ordinary bar magnets.

Because the magnet is strong and compact, it also works well under paper sprinkled with iron filings, where the pattern forms tightly around the two ends. The polished surface wipes clean after use; store it away from phones, cards and other magnets, and keep it out of reach of young children.
