You're correct! Maybe this guy actually had the larvae from screwworms? Those things thrive on live flesh. I remember them as a kid when we had to doctor our livestock in central Texas. Occasionally there are still outbreaks of screwworms in south Texas.
Are you sure that a screwworm bot is a 'maggot'? Maybe I'm not 'correct'.

How bad were they? Could you save the livestock? I had a friend who's dad had a ranch... He said one day he went to grab a sheet by it's wool and the wool/skin simply ripped off and there were maggots eating the flesh... Nasty..
