Re: [RC] Desperate Times for Horse Owners and for Horses - rjkopp

Just to compare regional differences.
I had to recently put down one of our horses.  We live in Oldham County, just outside Louisville, Kentucky.  There is no ( direct) cost for carcass removal.  The county contracts with a company which comes out for  many different carcasses including deer, cows, horses.  We happen to live between two of my vets biggest clients so he goes past my driveway a couple times a day and does not charge a farm call.  The drug charges including tranquilizers were less than $50.

My vet is cheaper than that and San Jose Tallow comes the next morning for you.  They will also add their charge to my vet's bill so I don't even have to be there.  Their drivers all have cell phones so that you can get them almost 24/7.  Their drivers are also very caring and kind and realize how hard it is for the owners to do this.  I think the last time I had them come, it was $150.............mb
