One of the quests in Crimson Desert, aka Ben’s Request, requires you to kill livestock, and it’s not as simple as you might imagine. Unlike wild animals that you can simply attack with a weapon, livestock is treated as stolen goods, so the process to kill them will be different.
To begin the activity, there are several steps to complete, which start with finding the correct tool.

How to kill livestock in Crimson Desert
The process of slaughtering livestock begins with stealing. To do that, you’ll need a Mask. You can buy the mask from a market vendor named Grimrak. You’ll find the vendor near the lower cliffs, south of Hernand Church. Masks can also drop from defeated bandits.
While Grimrak will sell you the mask, there’s another NPC named Edmond. He will buy stolen livestock from you.
Steal livestock
Once you’ve equipped the mask, approach a farm animal. Wait until the Steal prompt appears, and pick up the animal. A Theft alert meter will appear around you at this point. Don’t get spotted by an NPC, as this will put a bounty on you.
If you don’t get spotted, the meter will disappear on its own.
Kill the livestock
Once the coast is clear, drop the animal, and you’ll be able to kill it for its meat and materials.
What do you get from killing livestock in Crimson Desert
Killing livestock isn’t necessary, as you can sell a stolen one on the Black Market. That will get you more money, but you can kill them to get meat. This will save you from buying meat from the vendor for a while, which is required to feed your pets. Additionally, meat is also required for its healing abilities when you’ve taken damage in combat.
If you’re specifically looking to complete Ben’s Request, you’ll need to steal a sheep and then slaughter it. There’s no alternative way to complete the quest.
