“View along slaughter house to hog pens in the background. The first 30' or so of the hog pen (the light strip between the two fences in the middle background) was a "mud wallow" with a terrible stench. The hog pen was about 100' from the slaughter house when it should be approximately 500'. A vat for cooking offal had been built, but from the way the weeds were growing in the firebox, had not been used for a long time. This slaughter house is of a size to handle nicely the meat for one butcher, but is not large enough to operate as a custom slaughter house where slaughtering is done for anyone and everyone. Slaughtering activities should be confined to the needs of the owner and all slaughtering for others should be stopped. If custom slaughtering is to be done, then the plant should be enlarged.”, n.d.
