Had an older cow start to lose weight about a month ago. She has raised a number of calves for us. Every year she would get thin when fall came around. I was planning on waning calves in a couple of weeks. Came home Monday evening and noticed she was not with rest of cattle but her calf was. Decided I better go look for her and found her on other end of pasture laying there like she went to sleep but forgot to wake up. Went and got the tractor and moved her out of pasture to where dead truck could get to her easy. Called dead truck said they would be out to get her and to leave a check for 25.00 dollars in coffee can right by her as that is what they charge. Ok its Wedsday night and she is still there so called the dead truck again and they said they been real busy and not sure when they can get here. It has been 8o plus here last couple days so now what. This only company around that picks them up Southwest WI. Dig a hole and bury or what do you guys do?
