CHICAGO – After a June heatwave killed thousands of cows, top US cattle feeding companies sent 1,000-pound carcasses to a Kansas landfill, where they were flattened by loader machines and mixed with trash, according to documents obtained by Reuters.

 

According to a feeding company, other cattle were buried in unlined graves.

 

Neither is a common method of body disposal. However, due to the unusual heat and humidity, so many cows died that facilities that normally convert carcasses into pet food and fertiliser products were overwhelmed, prompting the state government and cattle feeders to take emergency measures.
