I raised a calf in the yard when it's mother died and we weren't able to drive out to the ranch every day to feed it. Everyone thought it was a very large dog, lol. Also, had about 100 chickens in the garage for an FFA project one year. A couple would even ride on my shoulders when I went for walks. The only animal the neighbors complained about was a goat that couldn't take a step without pooping. Oh, did I say our freezer was always full?
Most people just mix it into the compost heap.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just spread lime on it?
One of our prominent citizens has a 3,000 acre working ranch way out of town, with limited road access. They work it with horses.They also have a large Victorian in town. One very bitter winter, he kept several calves in his basement all winter. It was the scandal of the town, but no one did anything except laugh. Oh: the calves survived the winter.
