Drop Off Procedures
We are glad you have chosen us for your processing needs!
Drop Offs:
"Morning-Of" - please arrive between 6:00am - 9:00am
"Afternoon Prior" - please arrive between 2:00 - 4:00pm.
Upon Arrival:
Please wait for an employee to assist you in unloading. If they are not out, knock on the Harvest Room door for assistance!
Please note: Our employees are trained in unloading animals, but it is not a foolproof system nor is working with livestock predictable in any situation - especially at a slaughterhouse. Please allow our staff to lead the unloading process. However, you, the owner, assume all risk of your animal falling or getting out, so your guidance on usual temperament and behavior of your animals is encouraged. Should an animal get wild, our employees are trained to get themselves out of harm’s way rather than attempt to control an animal in a dangerous situation.
Upon Drop-Off Please Have Ready:
We understand this is not always possible, but it keeps us organized and ready for processing when they arrive with the animals.
