Acreage: 12.5 acres
Harvest capacity: Up to 120 head/day
Docks: 2 refrigerated
Highway: US-67 frontage

Receiving

Holding pens and unloading

Covered pens with steel gating and non-slip alleys keep animals calm on arrival. The unloading chute is set for standard pot and straight-deck trailers, with water available in every pen.

Interior receiving area with washable walls and floor drains — Sanitary construction throughout: washable walls, coved floors, and drainage in every room.

Harvest floor

Continuous inspection, single-file flow

The harvest floor runs on overhead rail with stations spaced for a full crew. USDA inspection is continuous while we operate, and the floor is designed to be broken down and sanitized daily.

Chill & coolers

Hotbox, spray chill, and carcass coolers

Chilling capacity was sized well beyond the plant's original run rate, which is what allows a full 120-head day to move through without crowding the rail. Our plant operates on synthetic halocarbon refrigerant, delivering high efficiency with a significantly lower environmental impact to meet today's compliance standards.

Fabrication & packaging

Cutting rooms, trim control, and vacuum packaging

Fabrication runs on stainless tables and conveyors with bone and trim takeaway built in. Packaging sits at the end of the line so product moves straight into the box cooler.

Load-out

Two refrigerated docks

Finished product stages in the box cooler and ships from two refrigerated docks, so the cold chain holds from the cooler to the trailer.
