USA Beef Packing, 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 plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which allows direct sales of meat to household buyers. The company website references a ground beef program and a halal solution. Whether there is a walk-in retail counter, whether halves and quarters or bundles are sold, and whether delivery, shipping, or online ordering are offered are not stated in the available sources.

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.
