Slasham Valley Farms LLC

Slasham Valley Farms LLC operates a very small USDA-inspected plant at 50 Lowery Dr in Ashville, Alabama, in St. Clair County. The establishment holds federal establishment number M50783 with a grant of inspection date on file of November 21, 2025, and its FSIS activities are listed as meat processing and meat slaughter. Cattle and hogs are the species reported as slaughtered under inspection.

The plant reports a slaughter volume category of 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year, and is classed by FSIS as very small. In addition to federally inspected work, the establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales.

No website text is on file beyond a Facebook page, and secondary listings are limited. One social media post associated with the farm mentions pork items including whole hog sausage, Boston butts, country style ribs, pork chops, and link sausages. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, and ownership, are not yet on file.

The establishment is listed with FSIS as performing both slaughter and processing, with cattle and hogs reported as the species slaughtered under inspection, and it reports custom-exempt slaughter in which animals owned by the customer are returned in packages marked Not for Sale. Reported slaughter volume is under 1,000 head per year, which places it in the smallest FSIS volume category. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging weight terms are not stated in the sources on file, so producers would need to contact the plant at (256) 677-8277 to confirm what is available.

Slasham Valley Farms LLC reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which allows direct sales of meat to household customers, and a social media post associated with the farm mentions pork items such as whole hog sausage, Boston butts, country style ribs, pork chops, and link sausages. The sources on file do not state retail counter hours, whether halves or quarters are sold, whether bundles are offered, or whether delivery, shipping, or online ordering is available.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
