Do Muslims in America slaughter animals for the Id al-Adha: Festival of the sacrifice, celebrated in March?

I greet you with the traditional greeting ‘Asalam-u-Alakum’ Yes Muslims slaughter animals during this time and give a majority of the meat to the poor or underprivelaged. Slaugthering is also allowed during other times of course, but during Id it is mostly obligatory on Muslims who can afford it. It is not always in March and varies every year and can be at any time of the year. The Muslims calender is lunar, not solar, thats why the times are different
