Ever hear of something like this?

So a cow pinches a nerve and ya throw the meat away.... ya'll must have a job in town.
Because salvaging injured animals has been a common practice for as long as agriculture has existed.
Heck there was a question on here last year about butchering or not when you find one dead. (which is crazy)

Ever heard of Mad Cow DIsease?

Were they tested?

Is it common where you live to pick up an order of road kill where you live too?

I've been damn broke in my time but never so broke as to think about eating a downer. Ever!

 

[Son of Butch]

Yes, I'm sure your very special.
4 reported cases in the World since 2012.... think I'll take my chances with home raised cattle and not worry about
the Chicken Little's of the world where the sky is falling daily.

Our next door neighbor had a cow break her leg (she was a young cow). She was down for about 4 hours by the time they got a butcher there, but I saw her try to drag herself around the pen (rear femur broke). They had a custom butcher come out and kill her and process her, worst meat I ever smelt cooking, and they threw the entire amount away.

Well the ones I've personally hit just messed up my truck and trotted on down the road. But I saw my buddy hit one and we cooked the whole thing up at the rig that day except the road rash hind quarter.

I had one prolapse that we butchered, turned out the same way, terrible taste and smell.

I always thought the build up of lactic acid would produce the bad flavor in one that had gone thru a traumatic experience.

I did butcher a fat 600 lb heifer once that broke her leg in a bale feeder. My coyote gun was handy in the tractor and she wasn't 3 minutes before she was hanging. She was good.

Grain fed too.
