Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 3.0, which places it above the smallest reporting tier of under 1,000 head per year.

Custom Quality Packers, 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 generally allows direct sales of meat to household customers at the establishment. No source on file describes a retail counter, posted product list, bundles, halves or quarters, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Households interested in buying should contact the establishment directly 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.
