Climate Change has given us this amazing story. reuters posted:Top U.S. cattle feeding companies sent 1,000-pound carcasses to a Kansas landfill, where they were flattened by loader machines and mixed with trash, after a June heatwave killed thousands of cows, documents seen by Reuters show.

Yeah, that's pretty typical. My family does dairy farming and haven't had to deal with mass-cow-corpse disposal, but when a heifer goes down out in the pasture it might not get found for a bit. That meat aint usable, and leaving it in place above ground draws predators/pests that could injure the remaining animals. Also cows don't like hanging around corpses, it stresses em out! So a chain gets wrapped round a leg or it gets picked up in a bucket and moved off to a corner somewhere and dumped in a hole, then covered up. Livestock farming can be gruesome. Pulling a dead calf out of a live cow so they don't go septic is even grosser - spoilered for extremely gross, you were warned. sometimes the calf ends up coming out in pieces. Additionally the cow doesn't always go into labor properly for a stillbirth necessitating removal by hand

But did you grind the cow up underneath the treads of your tractor before burying it less then 6 inches deep?

Usually with the bucket, not the tires. mostly they come back a few days later and run over the already buried part a few times once decomp has softened things up, then add more dirt Also 6 inches thick of dirt layered over an area large enough to cover a bunch of cow corpses is quite a bit of dirt. Cows weigh thousands of pounds, they aren't small.

Robo Reagan posted:humans have been loving with cow genetics through selective breeding for so long that they just can't survive without humans to do that kind of stuff for them No animal can survive having a stillbirth stuck in it's uterus - it happens in nature too. You just don't see it because the corpses are in a woods or something and get eaten. You're thinking of designer dog breeds. Most calf births go plenty smoothly - a cow not calving easily is a defect in genetics that is very undesirable since dead calves and cows don't make money. Daughters with high ease of calving is on the list of "reasons to buy this bull's frozen juice tubes" when you order bull semen from a catalogue.

The most upsetting thing about this is they didn't take the true opportunity to be journalistic all stars and write... "After you run them over they'll go flat, but they're gonna sponge back up," Theiner said. "You get a mass of 'em and you get on it, and it's like running a piece of equipment on top of a water bed. It moooooves."

Cattle heat tolerance is calculated in camel-units. It is important to consider the difference between single hump camel-unit and multihump camel-unit, lots of complicated maths involved

AARD VARKMAN posted:Now I'm curious what the stat for heat tolerance is called on those D&D style breed sheets they have "Hardiness" with a focus on "tolerance for hot weather" The Brahman breed from India is understood the best heat tolerance of any cattle breed, and has been crossed into a lot of American lines to try to capture that trait - https://www.thecattlesite.com/breeds/beef/67/brahman/ Brangus- Brahman/Angus cross - is the meat breed, because bhrama have a bit small carcass weight on their own. Angus brings high carcass weight to the table. Both are p fast growers/good moms which is also important in meat cattle.

Onto the semen! First the standard - lets go with a Brahman bull since that's what I mentioned specifically. the ever reliable semen peddlers at bovine-elite.com have your options! Lets go with this healthy boi - Mr Kallion Secondhand Smoke 4, because silly names are part of the fun! 100 bucks for this boy's juice quote:Mr Kallion Secondhand Smoke 4 is possibly the most powerful bull ever produced by Kallion Farms. He is a moderate frame, heavily boned, great temperament, and structurally very correct bull. His genetics will add power, fertility, easy fleshing, and the carcass and docility traits Kallion Farms is known for. Secondhand Smoke’s dam is the powerful female Miss Kallion Leila 24/3, who raised a keeper heifer as a first calf heifer and calved another beautiful heifer the same month the following year. Leila herself is a daughter of Lorraine 708 who has become a matriarch of the herd. Coming from one of the strictest brahman operations in the country, Secondhand Smoke will be an ideal sire to be used in registered and commercial cattlemen’s operations. but for the stats we need to go to the breed association page for this lad - https://brahman.digitalbeef.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=_animal&file=_animal&animal_registration=1040966 The stats: First, the basics: Now THE CHART And a partial chart translation - you'll recognize the acronyms The DnD stats comparison is...disturbingly apt In fact, this guy is coasting on his pedigree right now it looks like.

Oh yeah dairy cow farmers take a lot more data, since dairy cows are expected to produce for far longer than beef cows. Beef cows are slaughtered pretty fast. Dairy cattle, well-treated and with good genetics, can produce milk for over a decade. So their bodies have to last a lot longer. Also the udder dimensions are pretty important for ease of milking since it's pretty much all done by machine at this point. Machines are put on by humans often, but there are some super-automated set ups now where the milking machine kinda hooks itself up once the cow is in the stall

Someone had been using a field to secretly dispose of hogs awhile back, and the problem with secrets is nobody knew, so another decided to come along and till the field for sorghum. The hog-corpses were un-yet decomposed and an overpowering stench erupted from the earth causing involuntary vomiting for several miles.
