[QUOTE="Ojp6, post: 1278554, member: 23608"] Slaughter cattle are usually held off water prior to selling so they don't shrink as much. The bigger the water belly the poorer they sell. An empty slaughter animal that is shrunk when she enters the ring will top the market. If your one of these people who want to cry animal cruelty whenever they can you are one of the biggest problems in the livestock world today. 24 hours off water doesn't hurt them a bit and they go straight back on water after they go across the scale. We never lost a single animal because they stood off water over night and my grandpa did it that way with thousands and thousands of fat cattle. You suggested that 9 hours off of water killed your cow and I told you that it was extremely unlikely and you come back with an animal cruelty accusation. That's a joke. Learn something about the industry. If nine hours without water in the heat killed cattle it would be impossible to haul them in the summer. How do you think all the cattle that make the 18 hour trips out west survive in the summer. I suppose it is cruelty to ship them that far as well. Fact of the matter is if you don't trust the barn and don't want to stay and watch your cow until it sells then find a different way to sell it. If they killed your cow and it was healthy bug them until they get sick of it and pay you. That's what everyone else does to the owners that I know when they want money. [/QUOTE]
