Bristol Beef is listed with FSIS for both slaughter and processing, and reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer may be able to have animals they own processed for their own use, with packages marked Not for Sale. The plant is in the smallest FSIS volume category, under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is likely limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, fees, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file, and should be confirmed by phone.

Bristol Beef 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.
