On our property the house and barn are close to the west line. A neighbor has a herd of beef cattle pastured in the field and old orchard he rents to the west. Last weekend we had a lot of rain and south east winds, but when the wind shifted back to the west, I could sense a problem.
At first I thought some critter had crawled under the barn and died. Then I realized the smell was coming from the old orchard. It was pretty bad so I thought i'd better investigate. It only took a few minutes to locate the carcass. One of the beef cows had died, maybe a week before and was well past the sell by date. I called the neighbor, comiserated on the loss of the animal. That afternoon I could hear the sound of his power saw as he cleared a path into the beast. He burried it in short order.
Ah, the joys of livestock.
