Typically, if the sick cow is beyond saving and in severe pain, a shot in the head of the cow would be the most humane way. If you were to call the local butcher, they would have shot the cow too before hauling the carcass off to the slaughterhouse. Compressed air cattle gun, similar to those used in the slaughter house, may be used over the ballistic one, if the culling is to be done silently. Alternatively, one can let the cow die naturally and then bury it. However, the cow would likely be in agony for many hours, even days, and this could distress other cows in the herd.

Is it legal to shoot your own sick cow?
It depends on the county or municipality you are in. Usually euthanizing your own sick livestock isn't a problem. How you dispose of the carcass is always a serious issue.Another Answer:As with the above answer, it should be legal in most areas to euthanize a sick cow if it must be done. There shouldn't be anything that says you the producer can't humanely euthanize a sick animal when you have no access to veterinary services or choose not to use veterinary services due to the costs involved. It does cost less to buy a bullet than it is to pay a vet to come out and put the cow down for you, anyway.
