How do you slaughter cattle?

In: Cows and Cattle [Edit categories]

Answer:

Shoot it between the eyes, cut the throat, string it up by the hindlegs to bleed it out, then skin it, gut it (remove the viscera, head, lower legs and tail), let it hang in a cool controlled environment for a few weeks, then quarter it and cut it up for meat.
