IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SLAUGHTER BOOKINGS
Please call us at 935-2911 well in advance of processing time to book your dates. Live animals are processed on Tuesdays every week, year-round.
Reporting Requirements
Deliveries of beef and pork for slaughter with us must be accompanied by the appropriate traceability paperwork. Learn about the forms you’ll need to submit with your livestock delivery here.
DELIVERY OF LIVESTOCK
Livestock booked for slaughter must be dropped off between 8am and 6pm Mondays for Tuesday slaughter and should be delivered by livestock trailer. All livestock must be clean and healthy. We reserve the right to refuse animals which are contaminated (e.g. manure on hide, visibly abscessed) or injured.
CUTTING ORDERS
Cutting orders inform our staff about how to cut and package your meat. Download order forms from the menu to the left or links in each section below.
Cutting order forms must be received by the time you deliver your livestock for slaughter.
Please note:
- animals processed without a cutting order will be processed according to our standard cutting order.
- custom processing orders are limited to a maximum of two per animal; one order per side.
PICKUP OF PRODUCT
Unless otherwise specified, all orders are frozen for you to reduce the cost of freezing it yourself. Typically beef is hung for two weeks after slaughter before cutting; all other meats are usually ready within a week of slaughter; we will notify you when your order is ready for pickup. If you wish your customer to pick up product directly, please provide their name and telephone number on your cutting order and we will notify them that their meat is ready.
