Not edible: A couple of threads above explain in more detail but the bottom line is when an animal is killed for food the blood must be drained quickly. After a half hour or so congealing has started and the meat is pretty much useless. The hides should be salvageable for leather but that presumes you were ready to handle the volume.
In the case of cow herds insurance comes into play-—any salvage negates an insurance payout.
Thanx...
