Go to your vet, buy a bolus-pill plunger and a pack of bolus magnets (some call them cow magnets). Restrain the cow, put the magnet pill in the plunger, open the cows' mouth, put the plunger at the back of the cows' throat, and pop the pill in. The magnet will stay in the cow's reticulum (the "hardware" stomach where bits of metal and string accumulate), picking up the nail she just ate as well as other things she ate by accident. The magnet will help keep the hardware from puncturing her stomach, causing infection and a malady known as "Hardware Disease."
