Allen,
As a farm kid that grew up with animals being processed for food this is my experience. I don't remember being a part of the processing or seeing it until I was around 7. Don't know if that was some magical age, if my parents felt I was mature enough to understand, or if that was when it just so happened that they needed my help that day. My kids were around deer processing at a younger age but not at 3. I think as soon as he's old enough to understand. I have a 2 year old & nearly 4 year old nephew. They understand that their food comes from certain kinds of animals and they know where we do the processing but they stay away while it's being done. I think it's up to the individual child to determine when it won't be traumatic to them.
Best of luck!
