And cattle that are butchered using modern methods are hung so that the blood drains as well. My point was the claim that the heart pumps the blood out does not hold water since that is not necessary. It will drain regardless of method of hung properly.After the heart has pumped out as much as possible, the animal is hung so that most of the rest drains by gravity. Even after it is all cut and packaged, it is still treated in the home to remove as much blood as possible.
