For farmers and ranchers
The plant is listed with FSIS for both slaughter and processing of cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and bison, and it reports custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer can bring in animals for processing under a Not for Sale label for personal or shared use. Because the plant also holds federal inspection for slaughter, animals processed under inspection can yield meat eligible for resale. FSIS records place annual slaughter volume under 1,000 head, so scheduling capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Call ahead to confirm species accepted and scheduling, as listed.
Alta Vista Locker LLC 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.
