check around and see if a different plant will let you bring her in after you have culled her maybe?

Could you still bleed her out properly and process her?

should be able to BUT you do have to let them hang for better blood removal and to help "flavor/tenderize" the meat. most beef is 14 to 21 days hanging. BUT yaks have less fat so less hang time.

not if your doing 3 to 5 pigs in a weekend.

And I would have help with the cutting up and grinding of burger and packaging.

if they are USDA they have to follow their rules BUT I can call around.

I have faith you can do it just sounds so hard/heavy.

Do you have to hang pigs too?

 

[twisted-acres-farm]

they "dress out" at about 57% of live weight. so if she is 750 pounds I am looking at a carcass weight of about 427 pounds to cut up including the bones.

maybe over night. At least the ones I get. They are already skinned and cut in 1/2 usually the day I pick them up.
