Scope and Applicability This PCR applies to net conforming meat of sheep supplied in a frozen state at the processing-facility gate under CPC 3.0 subclass 21135. Covered commercial forms include frozen sheep carcasses, sides and declared cuts, bone-in or boneless, provided that the reference product remains unprepared frozen sheep meat. The foreground boundary begins with live sheep accepted at the slaughter facility and includes receiving and lairage; slaughter, bleeding, skinning and evisceration; carcass dressing and cutting; pre-chilling and freezing; packaging, on-site frozen storage and release; cleaning and disinfection; and on-site wastewater treatment when performed. Sheep farming and inbound transport to the facility are upstream. Retail, distribution after the facility gate, thawing, cooking or other use, and product or packaging end-of-life are downstream. Fresh or chilled sheep meat, goat meat, meat from other species, edible offal as the declared reference product, cooked, seasoned or otherwise prepared meat, and packaging mass are excluded from the reference product. Edible organs may cross the foreground boundary only as separately measured co-products and never as CPC 21135 reference output. ## 2.
