[QUOTE="fit2btied, post: 665, member: 6"] The processing plants near us in Southeast Missouri work different ways. The one we usually use is a larger facility and an appointment is not necessary except maybe in late August or early September when they typically have a lot of animals from local county fairs - even then you will be able to get the animal in within a week. We deliver the animals live to them which is a great convenience to us even though this plant is about 45 miles away.

The more local facilities are smaller and you must make an appointment 30-60 days in advance. They do not having holding pens so the animals must be farm killed by a separate contractor and you must get rid of the waste yourself or negotiate it into the killing fees.
