A'isha Narrated from:
The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: "A Human Does No Action From The Actions On The Day Of Nahr More Beloved To Allah Then Spilling Blood (Of Sacrificial Animals). On The Day Of Judgement, It Will Appear With Its Horns, And Hair, And Hooves, And Indeed The Blood Will Be Accepted By Allah From Where It Is Received Before It Even Falls Upon Earth, So Let Your Heart Delight In It."

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that a human does no action on that day more beloved to Allah than spilling the blood of sacrificial animals. The narration says the animal will come on the Day of Judgment with its horns, hair, and hooves. It also says that the blood is accepted by Allah before it falls to the ground, so the believer should feel pleased with it.
