Out here in the big ranch country seems like we never see rendering trucks/plants. Last weekend it was roundup activity for a big ranch on the San Augustin (256 sections of land) and in a break from the branding and nut cuttin I noticed what looked like buzzards and crows on a mound way off in the distance. That would be their "bone pile" where cattle that succomb or are killed nearby are dragged and left. With coyotes, wolves, bald eagles, buzzards and crows roaming far and wide (and who knows what else?) the bodies are soon reduced to bones. Seems better to me.
