Cattle market aids Iowa State but strains veterinary college
Ames Iowa strong live cattle market helps producers yet strains Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The Iowa Cattlemen's Association asks members to donate unwanted live adult animals for anatomy dissection labs.

Horses emerge as a feasible source as owners seek humane disposal over rendering. Transportation is free and donations are tax deductible. some owners worry about dissecting pets, but officials compare it to body donation for science.
