[QUOTE="donnaIL, post: 628967, member: 37"] Since we are in both in IL, this is imformtation I learned last year. Check with your extension office. We went to a workshop sponsored by the UofI extension last year. Here in IL they said you cannot slaughter on farm (I think they said it was illegal -- but not for sure my husband went to the livestock breakout, i went to the crops portion) Also there is are no butchers around who will take a carcass unless it comes from a USDA slaughter facility and they transport it. There are several processors around here, we personally use Trenton and have been happy with them (they will slaughter and hangs the beef then you can take it home and butcher if you want). I am thinking of calling Grants Fork (because they are now closer) and alot of people use Korte (I won't). I think its just nature to wonder if you are getting yours back...but honestly, after almost 10 years of taking animals, I can tell that what we are getting came from the animal we brought in. Also in IL (per the workshop), you can apply for some kind of license to sell beef (seems like it was cheap $25 or $50). You have your animal butchered, processed & packaged...then you can sell it by the lb.. You might have to have a certified kitchen or freezer area. I know a man around here had some beef processed and labeled, saw it being sold in the grocery store. [/QUOTE]
