Hello Everbody
I am sure that this question has been asked a few times but when I came home from work I found my first dead cow, It looks like I lost her some time during the night. Everything looked fine when I checked them last night. The one that I lost was an old cow that should probably have been shipped this fall but cull prices are in the toilet where I live. The sad part is She was the first cow that I have ever owned. I know that if you have livestock you are always going to lose some this is the first cow out of my small herd that I have lost.
Now my problem is what to do with the frozen body. The ground is totaly frozen so burial is not an option at this time. Our local dump does not accept dead livestock. I live in an area with a lot of neighbors and a lot of dogs.
I know that there are people who have to deal with this every year looking for advice.
My first idea was to try to burn the body next spring?
