There are two meanings to the word "processing" in reference to cattle production:
- Running cows through a chute or race to vaccinate, retag, preg-check and perform body condition scoring prior to being culled or being sent out on winter range or feed
- Slaughtering cows for beef, after which the carcass is stored for a period of time (called curing the meat) before being cut up for meat.
