Answer to Question 1

The seven shipping procedures to follow:
 Always handle animals quietly and carefully.
 Move animals when temperatures are moderate, such as night and during the summer.
 Do not overcrowd animals on trailers or in lots while they are waiting to go to market.
 Do not overfeed animals just before hauling them to market.
 Avoid injuring or bruising animals when loading or unloading them.
 Sort animals according to sex and size before shipping.
 Precondition animals for several days before marketing them.



Answer to Question 2

For animals that are purchased on the farm for slaughter, a fee called pencil shrink is sometimes
deducted from the selling price of the animals. Pencil shrink is the estimated amount of weight that an
animal will lose when it is transported to market. It usually varies from 1 to 5 percent.
