100%, quality of life for the animal is quality of meat for you.

Deer processing is a one (or two, with beers) person knife job, but cattle is best handled by the pros. I once had a calf die a a couple months in of bloat, and that fucker was about 4x the amount of work and meat, even with two people. I can't imagine how long it would take with a full grown bull.
