[RC] Desperate Times for Horse Owners and for Horses - shermanTitle: MessageHere's what I found
out today about putting a horse down in S. Nevada County, CA. Farm call
$67, drug and admin. $109, Hauling fee $165, disposal fee at renderer $135 for a
grand total of $476.
The other option is
to have the vet put him down, $67 plus $109, then haul the carcass (I don't like
calling a horse a carcass) to the waste disposal site (dumps) and pay $80 there,
total $256.
Personally, I'd
rather be able to let the coyotes and vultures take care of the body. Cover them
lightly with a straw, out of site and out of smell range. 'Course then
drugs shouldn't be used to euthanize.
