It was a chore. I’ve watched several done at my local processor. Those guys with the proper tools, knowledge and sharp knives make it easy. I’m making an educated guess but I think them guys can unload one from our trailer at their shop and have him hangin on the rail in halves in 45 minutes. So long as they exist and can squeeze me in for an emergency when one breaks a leg then I’ll never attempt to butcher again. However, I do understand the discussion in this thread is based on hypotheticals in a hush hush situation. Not something I would ever engage in even though I believe I’ve got the right connections to pull it off successfully. My solution for stray cattle is to catch them and charge the person for doing so or they get checked into a stockyard with a lien on them for the owner to pay or the stockyard will right me a check when they sell the stock to recoup their expense. Now that is all based on the stock owner proving to me and the “victim landowner” that they won’t or can’t handle the stock themselves. To each his own. Ain’t nothing that can make tempers flare like cattle. Hell I get tense just thinking about thinking about cattle but they are my livelihood so I keep going back for more.</p></blockquote><p></p>
