[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 866022, member: 839"] The main outfit for our area (and most of the state) Valley Proteins no longer takes dead cattle. They stopped taking cattle almost 2 years ago. They still take horses, hogs and I think sheep. They stated the reason for no longer hauling away cattle had to do with BSE and all the regulations regarding disposal of the carcasses. That company makes fertilizer. A few folks that I know, as well as some of the dairies now compost their deads. I have no idea what the labs do with the ones brought in for necropsies, I think they may cremate the remains. The fee for removing dead cattle was somewhere around $75.00 to $100.00. For horses its over $125.00. The last horse we had was buried here, have an old grandma cow that will be buried here as well. (neighbor has offered up his backhoe when needed). Katherine [/QUOTE]
