Tags:

butchery, meat economy, shortage of slaughterhouses in NY state, slaughtering and butchering animals for a living, transformation of Mulberry Street, Thomas DeVoe, in 1830's Mulberry Street was known as Slaughter House Street, until late 1800's you couldn't refrigerate meat, had to slaughter animal very near where it was being consumed, people were locavores by necessity, privatization of slaughterhouses, Gustavus Swift helped speed the departure of slaughterhouses in New York, Swift's prices were so low because he shipped dead animals as opposed to live animals, economies of scale, Henry Ford conceived of his idea for assembly lines from Swift's butchery lines, Swift pushed small slaughterhouses out of business, acceleration and consolidation of meat industry, in meat industry it pays to be big, number of federally certified slaughter houses fell by 200 between 2001 and 2005, wave of consolidation has left local slaughterhouse industry in tatters, wait times for a farmer to get a kill time in a NY slaughter house can be as long as six months,
