Step 1
Receive the farm animals by truck or rail car. These will usually be sent to you by ranch, farm or feedlot.
-
Step 2
Place the animals awaiting slaughter in a holding pen. While in this pen you can inspect them before they are slaughtered. You are looking for signs of disease.
-
Step 3
Apply an electric shock to the animals using 300 volts and 2 amps to the back of the head. This will stun the animals and render them unconscious before they are killed.
-
Step 4
Hang the animals upside down on the processing line. They should be hung by their back legs. Slice the neck of the unconscious animals with a knife and allow them to bleed out.
-
Step 5
Skin the animals and remove the internal organs. Inspect them for disease and parasites. Have a government inspector examine the carcass for signs of disease.
-
Step 6
Box and refrigerate the meat until it is picked up by a distribution company. The company will then distribute it to retail stores.
-
Step 7
Send the blood and fecal tainted waste water to a treatment plant. The wasted materials, such as lard, should be sent to a rendering plant.
