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

Wow....up here in "farm country", Lake County California, between the
vet coming out on a ranch call, and the carcass pick up guy....it's
about $450.

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
