Whitleyville Station Meat Processing

Whitleyville Station Meat Processing operates at 3255 Jennings Creek Hwy in Whitleyville, Jackson County, Tennessee, under FSIS establishment numbers M2815 and V2815. The federal record lists meat processing, meat slaughter, voluntary processing of meat, and voluntary slaughter of meat. The plant is classed as Very Small by FSIS, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and bison. The grant of inspection date on file is February 20, 2026.

In addition to federally inspected work, the establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. Secondary listings describe the business as offering USDA and custom slaughter of cattle, sheep, and hogs, along with deer processing for hunters, and mention freezer beef. A state producer listing states the operation opened in the fall of 2018 to process deer for area hunters and expanded in January 2021 to offer custom services.

The federal record lists slaughter under inspection for cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and bison, along with custom-exempt slaughter for animals the customer already owns, in which case packages are marked Not for Sale. FSIS classes the plant as Very Small with a reported slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking windows, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, hanging weight fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file. Producers should call (931) 284-9789 to confirm species accepted and scheduling.

Whitleyville Station Meat Processing 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.

Secondary listings mention freezer beef and describe the business as handling beef, pork, lamb, and wild game. The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which permits direct sales of product to household buyers. Whether a retail counter is maintained, and whether halves, quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are offered, is not stated in the sources on file. Hunters can note that deer processing is described in secondary listings.

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.
