A cow died in my south pasture last year and I didn't even know it until I found the skeleton while walking in the woods. I saw her grazing the previous week, so she couldn't have been dead long. When I found the carcass there wasn't anything left but the bones, and most of the ribs bones had been eaten half way down to the spine.

The coyotes had cleaned things up so fast the carcass didn't even have time to work up a good stink.
