HATS Category I: Inclement Weather On January 21, 2025 at approximately 0530 hours, while performing a routine antemortem and humane handling task, the following noncompliance was observed. Pens 21, 23, 25 and 27 held lambs for antemortem and their corresponding water troughs were frozen solid. I proceeded to verbally inform Ms. REDACTED and Mr. REDACTED that a noncompliance record would be issued as the lambs did not have access to water. The staff quickly implemented corrective actions by bringing out buckets of water for the lambs until the troughs could be thawed. These conditions do not fulfill the requirements of the following regulation: 9 CFR 313.2 (e) The establishment continues to implement a robust systematic approach to humane handling of livestock.
