Chris Cooley’s Idea of Fun: Burning Dead Cows

as a farm boy from n.iowa, i'd say yes this is a good thing to do. you basically have 2 options when a cow dies. yes the cow was dead for all you peta people out there. but and animal that size is difficult to bury, although it can be done with a skid loader. there is the option of having the vet or a rendering company come and pick it up for you, but not only are you out of the income potential of the animal, now you have a tremendious financial burden of removing a dead LARGE animal. it ain't cheap. so really the best most economical, and desease proof method is to drag the carcus out in an open field area, and yes burn it. i speak for iowa farmers, but it must be different with the open range cattle herds they have in the wyoming ranges.? you do what you gotta do. he may just find it interesting to tape it????? no skin off my head.
