Keeter's Meat Company, 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 establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which indicates some sale of product directly to consumers, and secondary business listings categorize it under butchering. Specific counter offerings, bundles, halves and quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are not stated in the sources on file. A Facebook page is listed as the website of record, but no text from it was available for this profile.
