The federal record lists cattle and sheep and lamb as species slaughtered under inspection, along with custom-exempt slaughter in which the customer owns the animal and the packaged meat is marked Not for Sale. Halal slaughter is reported. FSIS lists the plant as Very Small with a slaughter volume category of 3.0, meaning it handles more than 1,000 head per year. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging weight policies are not stated in the available sources. Producers should contact the plant directly at the numbers on file to confirm whether it is taking work, as listed.

Premium California Foods 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, and a secondary directory entry describes it as offering custom cuts, but no retail counter hours, product list, bundle or half and quarter pricing, delivery, shipping, or online ordering is stated in the available sources. Households interested in buying should contact the establishment directly to confirm what 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.
