Hastings, Nebraska. Population 25,000. The town that invented Kool-Aid.

Also home to a minyan, a daily Beis Medrash, and about twenty Yidden making sure your Shabbos meat is kosher.

We brought a camera inside, from the cattle's arrival through shechita, bedikos, nikkur, soaking, and salting. 520 cattle a day, and only about 15% ends up in the glatt kosher market.
