– Every time a cow dies on a dairy, it could cost that cow’s owner $115 for a
rendering company to pick up that cow.
Because of the cost, many
dairies have kept the old way of dealing with dead cows: a “dead pile” out on
the backside of the dairy, where no one can see it, and the dead animals are
dragged there to decompose.
