That CASH stunner is good but not great. The best are Schermer stunners, not only have they been around much longer but they have a kill rate of almost 100% as opposed to about 85-90% for Cash. As can you imagine I work in the Food Service industry and I’ve been working with stunners for over 20 years (and no i don’t work for Schermer). The amazing thing about stunning an animal is that the goal isn’t to actually kill the animal, its to keep the heart pumping so that it naturally pumps out all the blood. It may seem simple but attempting to “knock” (hence the phrase “Tommy knockers”) an animal into an irreversible coma yet keeping the heart from stopping is NO EASY TASK. Another problem you run into is brain matter getting into the meat; it may not seem like a big deal but that’s how Mad cow is transmitted. bottom line, if you don’t want mad cow or coagulated blood in your meat, get a Schermer
