I've seen cows and bulls put down with a .22 pistol. Of course a couple of them required an inordinate amount amount of rounds. One young Angus didn't stop until he was dragged down by several hundred feet of barbed-wire fence and several snapped-off fenceposts. Butchering doesn't always go precisely as planned.
