For farmers and ranchers
The federal record lists poultry slaughter and poultry processing under federal inspection, with no custom-exempt activity reported, meaning the establishment is not recorded with FSIS as doing custom processing for individual owners. FSIS places the plant in its small size class with a slaughter volume category of 5.0, and species detail is not reported. Nothing in the sources describes booking procedures, drop-off scheduling, minimums, kill fees, or cut and wrap options for independent growers. Farmers should contact the listed phone number, (870) 385-2331, to learn what arrangements, if any, the plant makes.
