At approximately 12:15PM, while performing a livestock humane handling task, IPP observed the following noncompliance: An establishment employee issued a knock to a cow from a captive bolt. The cow went down and then began to vocalize. When the vocalization began an establishment employee took immediate and effective corrective action, and the cow was rendered unconscious with the second shot. This places the establishment out of compliance with 9 CFR 313.15(a)(1). US Rejected Tag #B-45471577 was placed on the knock box until it was decided that the establishment could continue operations. Establishment management was informed of the noncompliance.
