The federal record shows federally inspected cattle slaughter at large-plant scale, with a slaughter volume category of 4.0, and no custom-exempt activity reported. Large commercial beef plants of this type typically buy or contract for livestock rather than process individual animals back to an owner, but the sources on file do not state any intake, booking, scheduling, minimums, or cut and wrap terms for this location. Producers should call (309) 658-2291 to ask how, or whether, cattle are received.

Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.
