    Ive see with pig haulers that they dump them on the side of the trailer while unloading and a skid loader would comeand pick them up. From there they take them to the rendering area. I have seen some cattle haulers go to a rendering plant if close by.

    Depends on where your at, some places will remove it. Some have a farm you can drive to and they drag it off, some places down south take dead cattle and give you a few dollars for them.

    I took a old dead one to a little place in Waco, there was a feller who worked there and he was slicing "steaks" off of one. As I was pulling out, they were grilling for lunch!

    I think most Chinese restaurants would be more than happy to take them off your hands. Probably even unload it for you. . .:biggrin_2556:

    Back when I pulled my refer I had 21 cases of bagels left over . Each case had 72 bagels in it !!!

    Another time I had 50 20lb cases of Alaskan pollok Left over and I traded one of them a case of malt vinegar and a case of tarter sauce!

    I have had a case of tic-tac's and a case of M&M candy canes . I can't remember all of the stuff I used to get when I pulled a refer.
