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 your weapons, 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 you stealing one. 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 you can then pick up the animal. The moment you do this, a Theft alert meter will appear around you. Don't get spotted by an NPC, as this will put a bounty on you.
If any NPC does not spot you, the meter will disappear on its own.
Kill the livestock
Once the area is clear, drop the animal. However, you won't be able to get a kill option. Instead, use a bow and arrow to shoot at it. Once the animal is dead, you'll be able to get its meat and materials. You can also use a melee weapon to do the same task. The process is pretty much the same.
What do you get from killing livestock in Crimson Desert
Killing livestock isn't necessary, as you can sell a stolen one in the Black Market. That will get you more money, but you can kill them to get meat. This will prevent you from having to buy any meat from the vendor, 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, so keep that in mind.
