Stillwater, OK is the home of Oklahoma State and they have a large veterinary school. From small animals like pets, to large farm animals. Part of any vet school is necroposy. Basically, and autopsy, only on an animal, not human. Some ranchers do indeed bring in a dead or dying horse or cow or buffalo or whatever. They will put the animal down if it is not yet dead, and see why it died. They have a LARGE incinerator to dispose of the remains.
One of my friends was going to school there for a while and worked in that area. He had several gruesome stories. The Oklahoma City zoo had a baby rhinoceros that the mother rejected right away. They were trying to hand raise it and it dies after a few days. They sent it up to the school for a necroposy. It had a defective heart, and a hole between the two main chambers. He said everyone there wanted to keep the skin for some boots but the zoo vet was there and made sure all the rino parts were returned to the zoo for burial. They did not want any a parts on the market at all.
