[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3301349, member: 40864"] Back in the '90s, I had a cow paralyzed in her hindquarters (after calving IIRC?), so I borrowed a set of hip hangers from a neighbor and we hung her standing up in a chute, hoping she would recover. She never did recover, but she began losing weight really fast in spite of plenty of feed & water. I called a rendering company in Gainesville, TX just to check my options in case she died. I was informed they would NOT pick her up if she died, but they would come to Oklahoma (Marshall county) and get her while she was alive. She kept losing ground, so I called and told them to come get her. The guy shot her with a .22, and then winched her into a truck. Apparently they had to verify time of death or they wouldn't touch 'em. Not sure if that's just a Texas thing, but they were the only ones I knew to call at the time. So I dunno if they can get a dead carcass picked up or not. :anyone: [b]EDIT:[/b] I said '90s, but it may have been '80s. Lol, yeah, I know... memory is the first thing to go. :D [/QUOTE]
