T & W Meat Company 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.

Secondary listings describe T & W Meat Co. as a family-owned butcher shop in Kingman, and the establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which is consistent with over-the-counter purchases.

Whether the shop offers halves and quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering is not stated in the available sources.
