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 product from the plant, and related web material describes cattle raised and harvested in Marion County under the Fort McCoy Beef name.
