Carcass removal will depend on where and how many, most will dig a fire pit and burn there. No need to hire help, they will just bulldoze them into the pit they dig, light it on fire, and when burned bury it.
Sounds easy, but still horrible. SUCH a waste of God's creatures. I suppose EVERY working farm also has a bulldozer to dig and bury.
My husband had fantasies of having a bulldozer in the city...no problem with traffic or parking. WHAM!!!

And do what? It is all they have done for generations and he is 64 this year? Do you expect him to go back to school? He worked hard to build this ranch so he had something to leave his 3 sons.
And you still eat steak, right? Hamburgers? Drink Milk? Get that Latte? Someone needs to do it. Be grateful you don’t have to take that kind of risk.
And yes, bulldozer or similar is pretty much required for farms and ranches. We don’t have trash pickup - it goes to the ‘burn pit’ in the yard.
