To deacon produce is to bury the soft, spotted, or otherwise unappealing produce in the bottom of the basket, and the pretty stuff on top.
To deacon a calf is to whop a newborn dairy male on the head, killing it, because to price of veal is too low to make raising it profitable, and the calf's genetics make it an unlikely candidate for a champion bull.
Not exactly a paragon of virtue is the typical deacon. Most of them, however, do not engage in sex with a married woman if her husband is watching with a shotgun in his arms.
