bob Evans (Hillsdale, Mich.)<br />
1. Plant was issued an NR on January 18, 2002 for insufficient stunning of hogs.<br />
2. Inspection was suspended at the plant on January 29, 2002 for another incident of<br />
insufficient stunning, described below:<br />
At approximately 0720 hrs I observed a sow on the skinning bed begin kicking<br />
vigorously with the rear legs when the plant employees began the skinning procedure.<br />
The plant employees restrained the rear legs and repositioned the sow and skinning<br />
bed against the bleeding bed. The sow was restuck, allowed to bleed out, and skinning<br />
resumed when the sow ceased movement. At approximately 0940 hrs I observed 4 sows<br />
showing signs of consciousness (blinking and regular chewing like motion) while on<br />
the bleed table. Employees waited until movement ceased before skinning was started.<br />
At approximately 1015 hrs I again observed a sow vigorously kicking after being rolled<br />
onto the skinning bed.<br />

1. Inspection was suspended at the plant on March 25, 2004 as a result of the following<br />
incident:<br />
At approximately 0913 hrs I entered the sticking and bleeding area.... At that time the<br />
employee in charge of sticking the cattle noticed my presence and started yelling and<br />
looking down the line towards where the feet are removed. The employees down the<br />
line at each station all the way to where they start skinning were also yelling. Thinking<br />
that something was going on down the line, I walked down to investigate. When I<br />
reached the area past where the feet were removed, I noticed that the sticker was still<br />
yelling and looking at cattle in front of him. At that time I realized that there may be a<br />
conscious animal on the rail. By the time I got back to the sticker I noticed that there was<br />
a conscious animal that had passed through the electrical stimulator.... At this time the<br />
sticker ran his blade into the animal and blood poured out. The animal made a movement<br />
in reaction to the blade and made one slight attempt to raise its head up. Several attempts<br />
