[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1823187, member: 12607"] Like Ken, I too thought it looked more like a 'knocked-down' hip than a stifle injury (almost always an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) rupture). 30-some years ago, we frequently sent clients with lame - or even broken-legged - animals to Tennessee Dressed Beef in Nashville. If they weren't running a fever and could walk off the trailer, they'd take them - and if they passed slaughter inspection, they'd issue a check; but if the animal didn't pass inspection, the producer got nothing. Don't know that TDB is still in business. We've had several old cows over the year that were slow or lame, that we didn't want to subject to the salebarn. We've donated them to the local Salvation Army soup kitchen as ground beef, taking a charitable donation on our taxes equal to the value of the meat and the processing fee. [/QUOTE]
