The federal record lists slaughter under inspection for cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, goats, bison, and poultry, plus custom-exempt slaughter for animals the customer already owns, which is the route for freezer beef and similar arrangements where packages are marked Not for Sale. Federally inspected slaughter is also available, which allows the resulting meat to be sold by the pound. The plant is classed as very small by FSIS with a slaughter volume category of 3.0. Booking lead times, kill day schedules, minimums, hanging weight fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file, so call (423) 554-4288 to confirm what is available, as listed.

P3 Custom Meats 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.
