Millstadt Rendering Company is our salvation for dead livestock here in Southern Illinois. They used to come get them for free, then they wanted $5, and the last time I called them they wanted $15. A bargain for a working man. They kept a card file, and it used to shame me when the old gal said, "Yep, we have you on file", or "I remember you".

Those drivers had to be making $50 per hour.
