[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1583882, member: 24027"] Why won't varmints/scavengers eat an animal that's been struck by lightning? It's been over 2 weeks since my brand spanking new bull was hit and he still hasn't decomposed. Plus I had him posted so easy pickins'. And as I recall it took a long time for a first calf heifer to decompose a couple years ago, no necropsy. I'm wanting (actually needing) to open the pasture where we dumped him but concerned about potential health risks to the herd. He's way back in a wooded area, really the only place we could dispose of him because everything has been so saturated. Should we try to bury or burn him? Or not worry about it? [/QUOTE]
