It has been years since I knew the answer to this, but at that time chikens were electrocuted. To do that, they had a large metal mesh floored cage, for which the top was so low that the chickens standing on the floor were so tall, that their heads contacted the "ceiling" grid. Then a very high voltage was connected between the two grids, which instantly killed the chickens, or so I was told. That was long ago, and maybe technology in the chicken slaughter industry has found another, better way. Knowning big business, I suspect that whatever method being used is the cheapest in cost, regardless of whether it's more humane or not. As for cattle, the last I knew of the killing method was the use of a pistol which used a blank cartridge, and shot a kind of "bolt" against the forehead of the animal, stunning it [sort of, or partially knocking it out] at which time it was hung from a hook by a rear leg, and then it was "finished off" by cutting the juglar veins, allowing the animal to quickly bleed to death. I was never in a hog slaughter house, but country friends killed their hogs for slaughter by shooting them in the forehead with a large caliber pistol. First, they are put through a sort of burning tank to singe the hair off(sometimes when they are still conscious!) Then they slit the animals throat by sawing through the animals throat like its some kind of tree. Finally, the animals are hung by a leg to be drained of their blood. Sadly, through every one of these processes, the animals may be fully conscious.
Same as a man - humanely with a rifle or a captive bolt.
A cow could be sold to a slaughter house for a few hundred dollars. The meat of a cow is around 6 dollars a pound and only 175 pounds on the average cow can be used.
Slaughter cattle are cattle that are raised and bred for the purpose of being killed and processed for meat production. They are typically taken to a slaughterhouse where they are humanely killed and their meat is prepared for consumption.
A steer typically weighs around 1300 lbs at slaughter. Cows, on the other hand, can be any weight, depending on their frame size.
That all depends on how productive they are, living conditions, health history and how favourable they are to a producer's cow herd. Typically age of a cow is determined by the producer. If a cow is no longer productive for some reason or other, she is culled and sent to the slaughter plant. Occasionally a producer will let a cow, particularly one that is a "foundation" cow, live to old age. How old is old age depends on the cow: some will live until they are 15 to 20 years of age or more. Others may only live until they are 3 to 5 years because they had to be culled for health, temperament or unproductive reasons and sent to slaughter.

A slaughter cow is a mature female bovine that has already given birth at least once or twice and has been culled from the breeding herd to be sent to slaughter.

To kill or euthanize it. It may also refer to culling, which means separating a bovine (not just a cow) to be shipped and sold, often for slaughter.
Dairy cows are usually allowed to have 4 or 5 lactations before slaughter. Their production decreases after this time and they are considered spent.
A steer typically weighs around 1300 lbs at slaughter. Cows, on the other hand, can be any weight, depending on their frame size.
A cow that has NEVER had a calf in her lifetime is called a Heifer. A cow that has not had a calf YET is a heavily pregnant or heavy-bred, or a short-bred or long-bred cow. A cow that has not had a calf during a calving season is called a barren cow, an open cow, a cystic cow, a cull cow, a meat/slaughter cow, a poor cow, a free-loader, etc.
No, the slaughter withdrawal time is usually 21 days after the last injection.
