I worked for Larry Goodman in Dublin Meat Packers..

I used to slaughter sheep in the morning and cattle in the afternoon.

Around 700 sheep would be slaughtered in the morning, and about 500 cattle in the afternoon. It was slaughter on a truely industrial scale.

You should have got into the boning hall.
Decent money in there, skilled job though and they want experience

I used to work with a guy who worked in the boning halls(oo er missus).
He would head down on his lunch breaks to watch the animals being slaughtered, odd guy.

It's a skilled job and you work with your set of knifes. Wear a kind of chainmail apron to protect yourself.

You need to know all the different cuts and how to do it.

Worked in a chicken killing factory myself for a few weeks. 9 hours a day grabbing live chickens from wooden crates and hanging them upside down into clamp things by their feet. Don't let their size fool you, a chicken that knows you plan to kill it can be a strong crazy little bastard, more akin to a wolverine or a mongoose. Used to come home from the place covered from head to toe in chicken blood, sh1t, p1ss and spit everyday, stinging all over from the pecks and scratches they managed to aim through the gaps in the overalls.

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night I can still hear the chickens screaming... the horror...
