How many years has it taken me to get this right, I normaly end up getting a knife to the bag, I live on a farm, and have had horses and ponies since I was 5 but the string on bags always causes me a problem, usually by ending up in a knott

Well today I finally did it, I just pulled ten end and it came off a treat YAY FOR ME
 
Glad to know the flipping things can be beaten

Always end up ripping into the bag Incredible Hulk style after getting more and more tangles in the thread

I,m scissor happy when it comes to feed bags. Those bl@@dy strings do my head in and I usually end up with damaged fingers or feed all over the floor from trying to rip them open!!
 
There is a knack to it!!

You usually have to start them with scissors, but you need to get just a loop on one side of the bag and just one free end on the other, then pull the free end!

Having given away this mystical secret, I will now never be able to open another bag for the rest of my life

Yay! I did it this morning too - I did have to resort to sawing the excess knitted string off with a handy chisel from OH's tool room but when I got it going it went zzzzzzzzziiiiiiippppp

I love it when they do go right - but it doesn't happen very often
