[QUOTE="iowafarmer, post: 599170, member: 7792"] I should of worded it ignorent to cattle and first hand knowledge of them. I was not calling anyone stupid in general. Unkowledgeable of cattle would be even better. But i tend to lack grace and political correctness for which i apoligize to all offended in my wording. Like the fact that yes cattle die and no they cant be disposed of immediatly . It was a Memorial dayweekend if it died on firday the rendering company would not of made it there till tuesday and that is like any business they dont work weekends and holidays. Yes you hate to have them lay there but when its illegal to bury them or burn them what more can you do. Yes i agree no one should let their cattle get like that but there are times when it happens such as the farmer gets injured or is sick and in the hospital and different neighbors do the chores different days and then no one takes the time cause they all have their own chores and dont feed the same every day. Im saying dont judge unless you know the story behind it. And im sorry but where i come from and was raised if you want to adress an issue like that you go to the farmer and talk to them and deal with it locally with the sheriff and such. And the locals know what is going on. What im trying to say is we should not judge and say this is a terrible person that knows nothing about cattle and doesnt care. I have known a great man who farmed and took great care of his cattle and cared more than most but then his wife got cancer and was in the hospital a lot and his cattle got in bad shape becasue he was always in the hospital and because his wife came before the cattle. He finally sold them after some neighbors talked to him aobut it cause they couldnt all keep helping out with chores and such and he realized that they had to be sold and he did. His wife died a few weeks later. He has some cows again and they look great. So until we know the whole story we should not say anything about it and bash this farmer unless he is a farmer that doesnt care and/or is lazy or has to many cattle to take proper care of them. Both of which are unexceptable. this is very true, but I know some farmers dont have it in them to put a cow down no matter what they just cant do it. [/QUOTE]
