How are cattle slaughtered?
961482
It differs from place to place, and country to country. \nIn some areas in United States for example, the hang cows by their hind legs and slit their throats open. In Egypt, cow butchers first slice the tendon in the cows' heels- to restrict their movements and to make the butchers' jobs easier- then, they force the cow into the ground and slice their necks open. In the Philippines, some slaughter houses kill cows by tying them into a pole with a short length of rope and then stab them to death- sometimes stabbing them in the eyeballs. Yes, these ways of killing are quite brutal, gruesome and inhumane-- but bear in mind that many individuals, do not have enough funds and proper equipment to butcher cows in a more humane way that will result in a quick death(ie. gunshot to the head).

FACTS:\n1.Our teeth should be differently shaped in order to cut the meat.\n\n2.Our gastric acids would be as strong as the ones of a carnivore, to absorb all the nutrients.\n\n3.Our intestines wouldn’t be as long, since all great carnivores have it short in order to get rid of the toxins faster. (meat do decompose faster/worse than vegetables, its just that it have lots of preservatives and colorants). In the other hand, must animals with a vegetarian diet have long intestines in order to absorb all the nutrients, since their gastric acids are not as strong… you can see that there are some that even digest their meals more than once…\n\n4.Our nails would be sharper and stronger, if we were to be having meat as our main meal.\n\n5.… what does a bull have for meals?? Are they weak?? … eating a bull doesn’t transfer their strength…. or meat!!! (as I read above)\n\n6.By eating meat you are more likely to get ostheoporosis, since there are elements in the meat that make your bones wear out, by that i mean that people literally pee their calcium.\n\n7.You should tell those people that in the long term your decision is wiser… \na.Yeah, we are ALL of F..cked up with all the transgenic and lack of control over the conditions and place in which those seeds are planted.\nb.Yeah, earth is becoming less fertile worldwide (believe me, I’m not in USA)\nc.But an animal is not hurt in order for you to eat… I’ve seen reports on genetic modifications to improve the mass production in Israel, such as lack of feather, nails and beak.\nd.and in the other hand, you are not absorbing all the chemicals they get those animals to grow fast with.\ne.and you are not absorbing all the bugs they have inside, including mad caw, etc. (by the way the mad cow disease started over twenty years ago, or at least that is as far back as we can track cases… it started with stupid eager farmers feeding their animals with dead animals)\nf.and you are not absorbing all the chemicals/antibiotics to get those animals to survive with.\ng.And finally, just as we could all, in a future... go into a world crisis because the water is not potable anymore, the trees have all become transgenic thanks to good mother nature and pollinization, same.. or I’d say worst!!! Would be to be starving as all of us with the addition of a disease that has no way of being controlled because it has been chemically fortified by the alphabet of antibiotics and hormones that are in the meat.\n\nBonus:\n1.I grew up hearing that as little as seven almonds a day could give me the amount of protein I could get from the meat.\n\nAs long as you don't base your diet on your favorite vegetables only, you'll be just fine. Amino, anti oxidants (... is that the way to spell it?) ... I'd say there are too many extremist in both currents.. just respect, and make yourself be respected... it is a choice, a philosophy of life.\n\n2.Meat eaters tend to have more cholesterol and heart problems. Vegetarians live longer.\n\n3.Meat eaters should check on their diet just as much, even though must of them, don't care much and are not selective at all\n \n4.www.themeatrix.com\n\n5. yes it's harder to get the iron in a natural source. but you should have a good balance in your meals, have the honey for the royal queen bee, something great that comes from sugar cane we call "melaza", if neither of the last two, then folic acid and finally morning sun bath\n\nnot as long, and much easier to answer in my language, hope it served for something...

Have a cow, then murder it.  Then murder the director, all the producers, and anyone affiliated with the infidels.  The world will finally understand, you can't be nice to hard-line fanatics OF ANY RELIGION!

let's see a typical day starts out at 3am. saddle up go eat feed the cattle ride around over the country see if any of them are sick or have something wrong with them check fence. write everything down in your herd book. make sure you take better care of your horse and saddle. and they will take care of you there is so much more winter time you move the cattle in closer. spring time it's branding and cutting. it's a miserable life, take it from me. but it is also fun and enjoyable. if you like living rough.

First things first.  How was this animal harvested?  Gun or bow?  If by gun then you score it using the Boone and Crockett method.  If by bow, use the Pope and Young method.

Cows are ruminant animals.  That means that they have the so-called four chambered stomach.  In actuality, only one of those chambers is actually the stiomach and the others sacs off of the esophagus.\n\nGrass is an incredibly tough thing to eat because it contains silicon dioxide in it (basically sand) and the cell walls are difficult to process.  Most grass-eating species use fermentation to break down the grass.  Fermentation is the utilization of single-celled organisms like yeasts and bacteria to break down sugars anaerobically (without oxygen).  the first chamber of the cow stomach (the rumen) acts as that fermentation tank.  The cow chews its food, it enters the rumen and the bacteria take over.  Grass being the tough plant that it is does not break down easily, so what the cow will occasionally miz up the contents in the rumen by passing it to the reticulum (the second chamber) and back.  When that isn't enough, they regurgitate the food and chew it up some more (called chewing the cud).  This breaks the grass particles up further and allows the bacteria more access to the grass to break it down further.\n\nWhen it is sufficiently broken down, it is passed down through the reticulum, through the omasum and into the abomasum (the true stomach) - and then it is pretty normal digestion after that.

Skin it and gets all the hair off of it or it will taste really gammy. We rinse our off with a hose. Then cut it in quarters and hang in old fridge for a week to age. We cut the back straps off(good steaks) and throw the ribs away. Then you bone out the legs. The pieces that are big enough we make into steaks and the rest goes for salami.  My parents always make deer burger out of the small pieces but we don't care for deer burger. We run our steaks through a tenderizer before packaging and freezing. Good Luck!!\n\nTry this site it tells you how to butcher one step by step. It even gives you some recipies at the bottem.\n\nhttp://web1.msue.msu.edu/msue/imp/modac/65793001.html

I grew up in the country.  We feed the animals, gave them names.  Come Christmas we killed a pig. I was about sixteen when they finally let me see the actual slaughter.  Gunshot to the head.  Did it turn me off to meat. Nope.  I just appreciate the animal more.  I know the prepackaged meat comes from livestock that isn't lovingly taken care of.  But sometimes I wonder if my burger is one of the cows we sold off.

Animals that are still alive that you're planning on butchering for meat.

to butcher. why else?

That's what I'm talking about.  Kill 'em & grill 'em.  If god didn't want us to kill and eat animals - he wouldn't have made them out of meat!  Nothin' quite like that front flip a doe on the run makes when you pop her w/ a 7mm mag from 25 yards.

animal by products are what is left after the processing is done on the slaughtered animal. in butchering a steer, all of the edible beef is quartered and sent for additional cutting, the head, tail, hooves, excess trimmed fat, blood, lungs, intestines and other organs are the initial by products. these become either specialty products for use in human foods like the tongue, and the liver. what is left, like in the blood, is used to make fertilizer and other products. the hooves are boiled down to make glue and gelatin, the hide is used to make leather. by products are used to make cat and dog food. recently it is forbidden to use any brain and spinal chord products for animal feed consumption i believe due to concerns over bovine spongiform encephalitis, or mad cow disease.

The have the automatic knieves that cut their heads off. They are rendered unconsious first with some sort of gas.  It is all automated.

Yes they are.  Unused parts of slaughtered animals are boiled down (rendered) for the tallow--concentrated fat--that is used in many soaps.  Protein from bones and hoofs is used to make glue.  Also, gelatin used in food (Jello, or jelly if you are from the UK) is produced from animal feet and hooves, most often pigs' feet.

the cattle would need to be moved from one range ( eating stop ) to another..for a few reasons..\none.the grass needed to recover from the cattle eating it down to the roots..\ntwo. some times depending on what part of the country there were in..they needed to move the cattle to a summer area where there would be enough watter, and the opposite in the winter to protect them from a lot of wind and heavy snow..\n\nthen of course the ultimate walk for the cattle was when they were sold to the slaughter house to be made into steaks.. for all those Bar B Qs..\n\nI hope I came close to answering your question\n Good Luck
