Wartime meat rationing and non-quota slaughter rules
The United States faces limited meat supplies as civilian and military needs rise. Regulations control civilian sales by slaughters while home slaughter remains unrestricted. farmers must conserve meat and follow the 234 pounds per person weekly share. Non-quota slaughterers must record all non home use slaughter and cannot exceed 1941 levels. Excess meat reaching civilian channels risks a black market and penalties.
