The federal record lists meat slaughter and meat processing along with voluntary processing and voluntary slaughter for meat and for rabbit. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and goats. FSIS classes the plant as very small, with a slaughter volume category of under 1,000 head per year, and shows a grant of inspection date of August 23, 2021. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and packaged marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales.

The company website describes a USDA-certified facility offering slaughtering services for beef, hogs, lamb, and goats, and states that a USDA inspector is on site five days a week. The About page says the business was founded in Clinton in 2017 and expanded in 2020 to add processing rooms, and describes locally owned and operated ownership along with HACCP, SSOP, and USDA inspection protocols. The site says the business serves home cooks, restaurateurs, and farmers seeking custom processing. Customer reviews posted on the site also mention deer processing, though the federal record covers meat and rabbit activities only.

Alongside processing, the site describes a retail butcher counter with fresh steaks, specialty burgers, handcrafted sausages, snack sticks, jerky, and brats, plus catering, special orders such as prime rib roasts, curbside pickup, and seafood dates announced on its Facebook page.
