A chute.
An abattoir or slaughter house.
Battery cows don't exist. Cows are not caged like chickens are, but corralled in a drylot or feedlot. So no, it's not illegal because there's no such thing.
Well, slaughter houses depend on size and what they slaughter. You can use the following link to see pictures of slaughter houses. Anyways, slaughter houses again, depend on what they slaughter, where they are located, and how many customers they get. I personally have been to a slaughter house where you bring in the animal, they slaughter it for you, and you get all the meat. There are other slaughter houses that catch there own animals and kill them for sale. If they kill sheep and goats it will look alot different than one that slaughters cows, chickens, horses, and pigs. Also, slaughter houses could be small if they are in a small town. So basically slaughter houses depend on the answers above.^ But my personal experience with slaughter houses looked like this: You walked into a large door and you were in the lobby area. They have meat on sale and people in aprons working the counter and walking in and out of revolving doors. When you entered the revolving doors, there was a LARGE room with all sorts of machinery used to cut the cooked meat. There were 4 other doors. One was all the bacon being cooked in strips in a large oven. The other was a LARGE door that, when opened, was a LARGE freezer with the skeletons/bones of all the animals. The other door was to go out to the back where all the animals were held until being slaughtered. The last door was where they killed and drained the blood of the slaughtered animals.

Dairy cows are usually allowed to have 4 or 5 lactations before slaughter. Their production decreases after this time and they are considered spent.
The colonial farmers would milk cows and slaughter them to get meat.
