Take advantage of the ease of our WSDA licensed custom kill floor, located in Oso, WA.

• Easy to schedule: haul in live Thursday - Saturday. Quick and easy drop off with lots of room to turn around. No need to wait around.

• Animals will be held overnight in their own pen to settle down.

• We practice all the humane slaughter principles: access to water, stress free handling, individual pens to rest in, a kill box, and use a captive bolt gun for instant dispatch. Subsequent beef cannot see what is happening on the kill floor and do not get progressively worked up.

• The carcasses are slaughtered on concrete, with unlimited hot water, and are as clean and bacteria free as we can make them, for a quality dry aging process.

• Carcasses go from ‘on the hoof’ to ‘on the rail’ in 30 minutes and come down to temperature quickly for maximum food safety.

• Request desired organs (liver, heart, tongue, cheeks, oxtail, and hanger) upon drop off, and we will package and freeze them and have them available with the rest of the order.

• Pro tip: hauling animals a short distance to the processor causes very little if any long term stress. Most animals settle down within minutes of drop-off.

  If you plan to haul your own animals, a little preparation goes a long way. Set up pens and gates ahead of time, and spend a few days before slaughter getting the animal comfortable loading in and out of the trailer. Withholding feed the night before can also help encourage easy loading.

  A little preparation helps make haul-in day as low-stress as possible for both animals and handlers.
