Gee,
I wonder what method Sara Lee uses to off the poor porkers for Jimmy Dean's sausage?
I thought the approved method was a gunshot to the head. Or are they still killing them with sledge hammers?
Inquiring minds want to know...

I hope it doesn’t get out that they’re clubbing baby sausages.

No killing floor at Jimmy Dean
"I wonder what method Sara Lee uses to off the poor porkers for Jimmy Dean's sausage?"
Sara Lee, Oscar Mayer, Patrick Cudahy and most of the big sausage and bacon companies don't have killing floors at their plants anymore. They have distributed the killing and initial butchering to their suppliers. They receive the pork bellies, hams etc. ready for smoking or processing.
The exceptions are the operations offering Kosher Beef that still have the rabbi come in once or twice a week to butcher veal and steers according to the dietary laws. They do it the old fashioned way with a knife, and assure that only certain parts of the cattle are processed for Kosher use.

Well I didn't know this about Sara Lee. I guess I will have to bag up all my Hanes and Champion underwear and send it back to them . . . .
Got it!
OK, now I understand. It IS gun-related, and WILL require a change in the recipe of my wife's wonderful meat loaf.
DANG! Sarah Lee will be required to donate $100k to JFPO before I will buy Jimmy Dean sausage again
And I'll bet Jimmy is not happy with their endorsement of Sarah Brady, either.

Now that made me laugh!
Maybe I should do the same,with out washing them first.
Since I sweat all day in an unairconditioned shop in GA,would they be classified as hazardous waste,or a threat to Homeland Security?

Gee, and you would think she didn't have to pay for it by now; that she'd have a few tricks up her sleeve...

I just visited Ben & Jerry's factory in Vermont. They did explain that a percentage of the profit goes to the Ben Jerry's Foundation which is the uber liberal group. The employee panel of B&J get to pick which organizations will be supported. Sometimes it is a literacy program. It is owned by Unilever but the there is still monetary support to B&J Foundation from the ice cream profits.

How ARE the suppliers killing stock now? Shooting them I thought. So I guess Sara Lee figures it's "ok" to use a gun in the process as long as they aren't the ones doing it and don't have to watch?
Sidenote...
I worked in a Kosher chicken prosessing plant during my high school days. There was ALWAYS a Rabbi present. My job? Gutting the chickens, about 2500 on a good day. They always used a teenage boy for that particular part of the process because our hands were small enough fit inside the chicken and still strong enough to grab the guts.
One person I remember is "Stella" the plant manager. We non-kosher Gentiles would be eating a ham sandwich and washing it down with milk at lunch while Stella was going bananas telling us we were going straight to hell for doing so. It got to where we would do it just to hear her yell...
Hey, we were KIDS!
Then there was Mary, a 4 foot nothing 60 yo woman who could straight arm a full five gallon bucket up to you on a ladder
One woman I know today is "selectively" Kosher. Inside her house she is 100% Kosher. That all ends one step out the door.

Here's some gun content, although it's been so long ago that I don't remember the eventual outcome. He lives on the James River east of town.
"A Richmond VA jury deadlocked in a civil trial involving Jimmy Dean, so the case will probably be tried again. A man sued Dean for $ 125,000. The plaintiff claimed that the entertainer/sausage magnate pulled a shotgun when he drove onto Dean's property."
Just so you don't think he's an old crank - he's not. Years ago when the James flooded, a friend of mine moved his old 32' Silverton down the river into an abandoned quarry to avoid the worst of the floating trees and cows. They had rafted up a bunch of boats to wait it out for a few days when a 141' yacht pulled up. It was Jimmy Dean in the Big Bad John. He had them all over for drinks and gave each of them packages of sausage when they left.

Dave R,
Maybe this will work as a substitute:
Tennessee Pride sausage
I seldom buy the sage, I always buy the "hot".
Watch out for the banjo music if you prowl around on their site !
