How do you kill cattle?

Answer 1

You can kill cattle in many ways. You could shoot it, cut it, poison it, overdose it, give a vacination in the wrong place, drown it by accidently puting the bottle tube down to the lungs(you only use that type of bottle if the calf won't drink and will die without it, it's way risky),and you could just not treat it when deathly ill.

Answer 2

There are several ways that a person can get rid of a dead cow. If it's really fresh, like it just died, it can be dressed (skinned and gutted) for beef. A freshly dead cow should only be eaten if it doesn't have any significant portions of antibiotics in it that could be detrimental to human health.

Other ways are leaving it out in the back pasture, as far away from residential or houses as possible to let scavengers to eat it and clean it up, burying it in a pit, or burning it in a pit. You can even hire a rendering truck to take it away for you. Most rural counties in the USA have regulations that dead animals should not be left out in the open, but buried. This, of course, is if farms are zoned and within a short distance of each other. It's much different if you're deciding what to do with a dead cow and you have over 400 or 1000 acres to play with, which is where you should have no problem leaving it out in the open for predators and scavengers to clean up the carcass for you.

However, if you live in a zoned area, you should check with local authorities as to the best way to get rid of a dead animal if you don't want to hire a rendering truck to come pick it up for you.

If you have more than one dead animal to get rid of, your options are similar to those previously mentioned. Depending on what the animals died of or why they died, they can simply be buried, or may have to be burned in a pit then buried. If you have a lot of land and only have two or three dead animals to deal with, then you can let the predators have at them.
