In reply to CrispinLog:
It’s not what you want to hear, but I’d probably err on the side of caution.
On the one hand... ropes are designed to take a fair amount of abuse... saw back and forth over edges etc. However...
Whilst cows and calves only have lower incisors, they are naturally very sharp and exert a lot of force against the dental pad (the tough upper gum where the upper incisors would be), so they are pretty aggressive on soft materials. Added to this, they tend to move their lower jaw in a left/right motion when chewing, which could potentially be damaging to the inner strands of the rope. I work with cattle and getting a finger chewed by a calf can be pretty crushing!
If there’s a lasting kink I’d be a bit concerned. Sorry!
