Large animal co-ownership : on-farm slaughter operation

Description

This information sheet explains the requirements for co-ownership of large live animals from an on-farm slaughter operation. A large animal, such as bison, beef or elk is one that weighs more than 227 kg. Ownership of the large live animal is transferred when the on-farm slaughter operation sells the large live animal prior to slaughter.; this must be arranged prior to slaughter as the sale of uninspected meat remains illegal in Alberta.
