[QUOTE="Findleyfarms, post: 494727, member: 7548"] Before my cattle arrived I read a book on cattle behaviour that included a section on animal welfare. Sorry I con't remember the exact name of the book. It had scientific data about travelling times, types, and the slaughtering process. The meat quality was reduced by stress as others have said here. It suggested even finding out if your animals will have to wait in a holding area before going to the kill floor as it has an affect on the meat quality. That being said, I'm sure you could dig up some actual studies if you went searching. [/QUOTE]
