I think it is illegal to sell beef from a cow that dies of natural causes.

I was cruising down a rural highway near Pecos a while back and there was a dead cow on the side of the road, been hit by a semi or oil field truck.

Two trucks had pulled over and these Mexicans were slicing them off some ribs and roasts, loading up their coolers.
