CUSTOM EXEMPT PROCESSING AGREEMENT FOR DOMESTIC ANIMALS
The following guidelines and fees are applicable when you schedule your animals to be processed with us. These terms are effective August 2022.
SCHEDULING, ARRIVAL, & ADDITIONAL FEES
Please make sure animals are sorted/corraled when we arrive on site. If it takes more than 10 minutes to begin, a $25 charge will be added.
Slaughter fees are due at the time of scheduling appointment and are non-refundable. Appointments can be re-scheduled 4 weeks or more before slaughter date. Any changes less than 4 weeks from the date will require a $20 rescheduling fee. The deposit will gaurantee your spot and ensures we can run a tight, predictable schedule.
Additional slaughter fees to haul the guts/hide/head from the kill site: $15 per beef, $10 per pig, $10 per sheep/goat.
Depending on location, extra charge may apply if longer travel time is required from Helena, Montana (determined when scheduling).
