Thanks all.
I think I posted something in the dog food thread about never having to buy dog food until we sold the farm. Whenever a cow would die, we would stage it for pickup by a company. Any dog we ever had would claim ownership of the carcass and start working on it, so to speak. The guy who would pick up the carcass always had a dangerous job as some farm dogs didn’t take too kindly to having their seemingly endless supply of meat hauled away. So that guy would always carry dog treats with him (the company turned carcasses into dog treats) and distract the dog while he loaded up the dead cow.
