The establishment reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under federal inspection, and it also reports custom-exempt slaughter, which allows a producer to have their own animals killed and cut with the packages marked Not for Sale for the owner's use. Voluntary inspected slaughter of rabbit is also listed. The plant is classified by FSIS as very small, with a reported slaughter volume of under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is likely limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, cut and wrap options, and fees are not stated in any source on file, so producers should call (606) 886-6003 to confirm what the plant handles.

Appalachian Ag, 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.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally means product can be sold directly to household customers at the establishment. No source on file describes a retail counter, halves and quarters, bundles, online ordering, delivery, or shipping, and no store hours are listed. Households should contact the plant directly to ask what is available for purchase.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
