Parker County, Texas  ·  24 / 7 Dispatch

Livestock & large
animal removal

Cattle, donkeys, mules, sheep, goats, llamas — the same winch trucks and the same response times we run for horses, for every large animal on your place.

Beyond horses

One number for every large animal on the property

Most of our calls are horses. But the equipment that recovers a draft horse from a back pasture handles a bull just as well, and Parker County ranchers kept asking. So: cattle, donkeys, mules, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats, and pigs — we remove them all, 24 hours a day, from anywhere in Parker County.

A dead cow in the summer heat is not a problem that waits. Call (817) 668-3935, tell us the animal, the road type, and where it lies, and we give you an ETA on the phone — typically 1.5 to 3 hours for the eastern half of the county.

Why removal beats burial for most properties

Texas allows on-site burial of livestock, but TCEQ guidance calls for setbacks from wells, creeks, ponds, and property lines, and digging a hole for a 1,500-pound animal takes equipment most owners rent by the day. Our guide to Texas carcass disposal rules walks through the requirements; for most Parker County properties, a removal call is faster and cheaper than doing it right yourself.

For ranches, dairies, and boarding operations

Operations that lose animals more than once a year keep our number posted. We handle gate codes and pasture directions on file, confirm each pickup by text, and can invoice monthly. One call from a ranch hand is enough — the owner doesn't need to be reachable.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you pick up dead cattle?
Yes. Cattle are the most common non-equine call we take. The same winch trucks that handle a 2,200-pound draft horse handle bulls, cows, and steers across Parker County.
Which animals do you remove?
Horses, cattle, donkeys, mules, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats, and pigs. If you're unsure whether we can take an animal, call — the answer is usually yes if a winch can lift it.
How fast can you get here?
Same response windows as our horse calls: typically 1.5 to 3 hours for Weatherford, Aledo, and Azle; up to 4.5 hours for far western Parker County. We dispatch 24/7, including holidays.
Is burial on my own land legal in Texas?
Texas generally allows on-site livestock burial, but TCEQ guidance requires distance from wells, surface water, and property lines, and burial is impractical for most large animals without heavy equipment. Removal avoids the digging, the setbacks, and the paperwork. Our guide to Texas carcass rules covers the details.
Do you work with ranches and feedlots on recurring calls?
Yes. Ranch managers and boarding operations across Parker County keep our number posted in the barn. We invoice operations monthly if that's easier than paying per call.
