The federal record lists meat slaughter and meat processing activities, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning a farmer can bring an animal for processing and receive the meat back in packages marked Not for Sale. Species slaughtered under inspection are reported as cattle, sheep, and lamb, and poultry processing is also listed. Halal slaughter is reported to FSIS. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill or cut-and-wrap fees, hanging weight pricing, and aging practices are not stated in any source on file, so farmers should contact the plant at (507) 256-7214 to confirm scheduling and terms.

New Geneva Meats & Processing Inc. 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 plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which indicates some direct sales activity, but no source on file describes a retail counter, hours, product selection, halves or quarters, bundles, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Households interested in buying should call (507) 256-7214 to ask what is available.

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.
