Taylor Made Meat Processing, LLC

Taylor Made Meat Processing, LLC operates at 85 Old 64 Highway in Flintville, Lincoln County, Tennessee, under USDA establishment number M1994. The federal record lists both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing activities, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as Very Small and places its slaughter volume in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is September 30, 2025.

The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer and returns the meat in packages marked Not for Sale. That combination of inspected and custom work is common at plants of this size and gives producers a path to either resale-eligible meat or freezer beef for their own use.

Beyond the federal record, published details are thin. A Facebook page and third-party business listings exist for the operation, and one Facebook excerpt refers to Taylor livestock being raised, butchered, and sold in a Taylor owned establishment, while a Yelp listing describes the business as serving customers who bring livestock to it. Hours, pricing, cut and wrap options, booking policy, and retail offerings are not on file with LocalMeat.org. Contact the plant directly at (931) 307-4260 to confirm current services.

The plant is set up for producers hauling cattle, hogs, or sheep and lamb, the three species it reports slaughtering under federal inspection. Because it holds both a federal grant of inspection and reports custom-exempt slaughter, a farmer can in principle have animals processed for resale under inspection or handled custom, with the meat returned in Not for Sale packaging for the owner's own use. FSIS lists the operation as Very Small with annual slaughter under 1,000 head, so capacity is limited and scheduling is likely to matter. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight pricing, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Call (931) 307-4260 to ask about availability, as listed.

Taylor Made Meat 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.

A Facebook excerpt attributed to the business refers to Taylor livestock being raised, butchered, and sold in a Taylor owned establishment, which suggests some direct sale of meat, but no source on file describes a retail counter, halves and quarters, bundles, shipping, or online ordering. Households interested in buying should contact the plant directly at (931) 307-4260 or check its Facebook page for current offerings.

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.
