It's in the can

摘要

Thirty-two years. That's how far back I went into our archived copies to find the first contributed column from Temple Grandin in what was then known as Meat Industry (before the magazine was purchased by Sosland Publishing and the name changed to Meat & Poultry). The theme of that column was "How to stun cattle correctly," and it included several pages of copy flanked by many black-and-white photos of cattle being stunned in a variety of plants. I shared this dusty article with Grandin this past month and it triggered a proud smirk from her and a quick recollection of the names of people in the photos and the name of the plant where the photos were taken.
