neutral  philgoddard: You've given four quite different answers and no references. It's not slaughterhouse, which is the whole facility; yard implies it's outdoors, which I don't believe it is; and "patio" makes me think of sun loungers and climbing roses :-)

  -> I don't see the point of including Spansh refs. Asker wants a translation.
agree  Jennifer Levey: Yes. Within the slaughterhouse as a whole, it refers to the area, usually indoors, where the animals are sacrificed (as featured in Fassbinder's 'In a Year of 13 Moons').
