Cattle will nose around and chew on metal occasionally. Also, back in the days of wire-tie balers, they would / could ingest wire with the hay. If the metal penetrates the stomach wall, the cow will get an infection in the body (peritoneal) cavity, which is often fatal; always expensive.

As Tractor Vet indicated, the purpose of the magnet is to attract and hold any metal, preventing the wire / nail / staple / whatever from moving around with the feed and damaging the stomach.
