Had a very healthy registered jersey bull calf we were raising for a herd bull. 4.5 months old about 300 pounds. Fee grain at 5pm. Came home at 8pm and found him wedged with his head and all four feet under him in his water tub. It is a 55 gallon plastic barrel cut in half. He was stuck in there and drowned in 3 inches of water. He was starting to bloat but I think he had been dead a short time. I posted an ad and a man came to get him right away to butcher him. How long after death would the meat be good? It was 20f degrees.
