For a farmer or rancher considering hauling animals here, the federal record shows the plant is set up for both slaughter and processing of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and that it reports custom-exempt slaughter for animals the customer owns. Because it is classified as very small with fewer than 1,000 head slaughtered per year, capacity is limited. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and whether inspected work for resale is available on a given date are not stated in any source on file. Producers should call (678) 662-4563 to confirm current availability, as listed.

Daves Creek Meat Market 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.
