Dug a hole with the tractor and buried the bigger animals, while we threw the racoons, chickens, humans, rabbits, coyotes, etc to the pigs who took care of everything for us.

Depends on how much land you have. Our family farm is nearly 1,500 acres, so one little acre in a wooded corner of the farm works well. Plus, it's a way to give back to the wild animals who live in the woods. That's like Thanksgiving to them!

We had multiple areas we used, not just one. Of course we had dairy cows on one side of the road and beef cattle on the other, so that was part of it.

Longhorns, baw. We cut their head off before dragging them to the far corner.
Other than that, yeah. Buzzards gotta eat too...

and buzzards will take care of a carcass rather quickly. After that it's just a matter of worms and sun bleaching...

The OP is full of shite. Unless you buried the animals, I can't see how coyotes and other scavengers didn't get into all the dead animals and spread bones and caucuses all over your farm.

I don't think you get it...did you hoe the weeds out of the bean field? It's usually what farmers ask the little kids to do just to make them learn how to work.

Anybody else getting hungry reading this thread?

I've already addressed this, but since you're playing billy badass today and calling me full of shite, I assume you believe several other posters in this thread are full of shite too since they said they did the same thing on their farm.
Get the frick out, city boy.

Yes
An archeologist will dig that place up in a thousand years and say, "WTF?"

To take it a step further, future Archaeologists will conclude that a cataclysmic event occurred which made these animals suddenly die where they once stood and they'll somehow link this imaginary event to a volcano in Guatemala.

We did the same thing. My father even made bone art out of sun bleached bones...

Did you live on a vegan farm?

I drug a lot of critters to a big gully using a plow mule. Finally, at about age 6, I got my tractor license.
