Fallon Livestock Processing, LLC

Fallon Livestock Processing, LLC operates at 1100 Allen Rd. in Fallon, Churchill County, Nevada, under USDA FSIS establishment number M47488. The federal record lists the plant for both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing, with a grant of inspection dated November 8, 2024. FSIS classifies it as a very small establishment, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. A Facebook listing under the name Fallon Livestock Processing refers to custom and USDA work, which is consistent with the federal record.

The website on file, fallonlivestock.com, is the site for Fallon Livestock, LLC, a livestock auction operation. It lists weekly Tuesday sales with a small barn sale for goats, sheep, and pigs starting at 11am and a cattle, bull, and horse sale starting at 1pm, drop-off by 10am for small barn animals and 12pm for cattle, and special feeder sales on the second Tuesday of some months. That site gives an office address of 2055 Trento Ln., Fallon, and lists Tommy Lee as owner, while FSIS lists the processing plant at 1100 Allen Rd. The site does not describe the processing plant, its cut and wrap options, prices, booking, or retail hours. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file for the processing side of the business.

The federal record shows the plant is set up for both inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep or lamb, so a producer could in principle bring animals for either inspected harvest, for meat intended for sale, or custom harvest for personal use with packages marked Not for Sale. Slaughter volume is reported in the lowest FSIS category, under 1,000 head per year, and the plant is classed as very small, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. Producers should call (775) 867-8595 to confirm what is being scheduled, as listed. Note that the affiliated Fallon Livestock, LLC website describes a separate weekly auction operation with Tuesday sales and its own office at 2055 Trento Ln.

Fallon Livestock Processing, 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.

Fallon Livestock Processing, LLC reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which typically means a counter or storefront selling cuts to the public. Retail details are not yet on file.

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.
