I, too was surprised about the downer cows. While I have been in the cattle business for several years and am in the midst of the largest eastern US cattle area we have a dearth of commercial packing plants. All of the auction markets that I have traded with clearly post signs "No Sick or Down Animals Accepted'. If I have one that gets sick or injured I treat her until she gets better, dies, or I cant see that I'm helping her (and put her down). 'Dog food plant' charges to pick up but our county government has contracted with them for dead animal pick up and disposal. Currently they pay $12,000 per year but that includes road kills of wildlife.
