DAM was just going to say this beat me to it. also for me 1 in 1000 not ded from cow not make a died after not a hand grenade and 22lr
I worked for a cattle farmer as a teenager. The farmer delivered a steer to the same customer every year for quite a number of years. The customer used a .22lr rifle and that steer was dead before we could get the ramp on the truck secured.
Joined in 21… nothing but twisted questions and retorts about killing farm animals with firearms?
Sensing little Johnny is a twisted little serial killer wanna be at this stage.
Bancat would approve his early demise from SH so we don’t find he did some nasty stuff after visiting here. Alarm bells in surround sound!

Father in Law worked for Armor back in the late 60's early 70's. He worked for some of that time on the "kill floor" so he called it. Does not sound like fun and I never asked too many questions. But according to him it was a stall where one cow would be brought in, there are many stalls with a guy in each one. Some air device to the head and one and done, no blood. Then the dead cow would go out on a belt and a new cow come in.....for 8 hours a day. He said if the cows are all together they "know" what is going to happen and things will go down hill fast. I also read some accounts when US troopers slaughtered the indian ponies at Palladio canyon, over 2000 horses shot dead. And the horses went nuts, and it got dangerous for the troops doing the killing. Again an entire day killing horses.
I could not do that job.

Exactly, this was the beginning of the brainwashing and liberalization we see today. The slide to socialism. I am sure Bernie Sanders watched it once a month just after cashing his welfare check and meeting his dope dealer.

My buddy that owns a cattle (beef steer) ranch uses a 22 LR to dispatch the critter before he bleeds it out. Usually at 3 to 4 feet in distance from the steer. Only seen one time when he had to shoot a beef steer twice and he slaughters several every week for customers.
Growing up we always raised and slaughtered our own cows and hogs . .22 short on hogs .22lr on cows . At Great grandparents farms it was always a family event that my parents carried on for time . As someone said above - lights out on a cow with a .22 . If the cow was calm. Never seen them not drop but their is one family story about an upset cow and a poor shot that just pissed the cow off and it ran through the barn wall until it ran out of slack on the steel cable already affixed to its rear leg.
I heard the same thing from old farmers I worked with in regards to the 22lr. In lieu of the 22, they also said a ball peen hammer between the eyes worked well too
Can’t speak for cows, but once I had a hog put up for pork and sausage. Came down with hog dysentery. The price of hogs was so low that the cost of saving him was just not worth it. So, the only answer was to humanely dispatch him. After-all, the buzzards gotta eat too.
So, I put a .22lr Rifle to his forehead, and his front feet split at the gunshot immediately slamming him down. When his head hit the ground, he was dead.

Growing up we used them for pigs all the time.
Suppressed .22 pistols have been in the armory of a lot of military units for a long time.
Suppressed rifles work great for squirrels. Quite a few are used by PHs in urban pest control..

Same spot for a pig, 22 LR from 5 feet and it’s instant lights out.
But they have to be straight on shots or will deflect on a hog skull.
I helped my uncle trap wild hogs when i was kid, castrate the boars and fatten them up in a pen.
I have seen several 22lr bullets shot from a single six deflect off of thier skulls if it wasnt as straight on as possible.
But the ones that were straight on were died asuddenly

Aim to low on cattle they just end up with a bloody nose
I was driving a Dead truck for a while knocking lame and sick cows also picking up the already dead ones too
It's all shot placement.

Behind the ear every time.... once in my youth did I think a 12 ga slug was a bright idea..(had exposed cancer and was un catchable.)
Maybe cows are different...but a 4lb cross peen will kill a 1year old goat.
A 2 year old goat will think youre playing...9mm works.
You've never been to a small slaughter house before have you? Most use a 22 to knock cattle..... Federally speaking livestock are not considered dead until the throat is slit. but a head shot with a 22 usually does the job nicely. Spent 2 years on a kill floor in high school.
