cattle weren't slaughtered in the Kansas Cow towns

shipped via rail to Chicago for that

that is why, as the rail road kept expanding, cow towns lived and died

Cargill Meat Solutions, and National Beef Dodge City are both slaughterhouses.

Giant slaughterhouses.

Steers go in, riding a T-bone Taxi.



They come out disembowled, skinned, dissected and frozen, shipping out in refrigerated trailers. A pretty efficient and thorough operation, just about everything is used somehow. Little waste.

Smells awful.

A smell one never forgets.

And it is pretty stressful for the cattle.

Meat produced on a smaller scale yields much better meat.

You can see the family resemblance when looking at the '59 Chevrolet

My older brother's first car was a 1956 Mercury, in butt ugly chartreuse, with something like a police interceptor engine?
Man that thing could get with it!
It had AC with clear plastic tubes coming up the back glass.
His second car, when he got out of the Navy in '61, was a '59 red Chevy Impala convertible.

You can thank Temple Grandin for improvement along those lines.

Very interesting reading Bob.

Very interesting reading Bob.

If you get a chance to see it, the movie about Dr Grandin is very good.

I buy all small scale from local farms that do several animals at a time rather than the mass production of grain fed animals. I can afford to since I have no teenagers at home and I consume a lot less meat than I used to. Not as little as when I ate vegetarian for several years but less than I used to.

I ate vegetarian. Once.

[SSGGeezer]

(Insert semi-crude joke here.) Ha ha ha!

"A vegetarian?"

[robtcorl]

I'll stop eating meat someday, please pay your respects.

Vegetarian?

Meat eater?

I'm an omnivore.

A balanced diet is a good diet.

I'm also a member of PETA.

So if you were to suggest one place in Kansas that should not be missed while driving through; what would it be?

Don't forget to stop by Emporia.

Clint Bowyer is from there.

"A vegetarian?"

Yes, that too. More than once.
