QUOTE:

(Readlyn, Iowa-AP) -- Farmers forced to dispose of downer cows because a
U-S-D-A ban are turning to a new method -- composting.

An Iowa State University study is showing that composting can be a cheap
and effective method of getting rid of the cows. It's easy for most
farmers because they have the materials needed close at hand on their
farms.
