Farmer Co op Controls Cattle Age Limits and Slaughter
A local meat distributing cooperative requires cattle to be no more than two years old at slaughter. It is farmer controlled, pays no dividends, and uses surplus to reimburse butchers and cover expenses. Any local farmer may join by agreeing to bylaws and supplying livestock when needed.
Cooling Meat Handling For Slaughtered Animals
Guidance on cooling carcasses promptly after slaughter to avoid freezing. Target temperatures span 34 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit with seasonal guidance for winter and summer dressings. Avoid proximity to fresh paint or fuels as meat absorbs odors and flavors readily.
Preparing Animals for Slaughter
An animal destined for slaughter should be rested and not fed for 24 to 86 hours to prevent gorging and ensure thorough vein drainage. Water until slaughter maintains temperature and colors the carcass. stress and hurried killing worsen meat quality. A 0 hour fast is insufficient. rest overnight if the animal is overheated from driving, and handle without bruising to avoid spoilage and poor curing results.
