Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can SCS deliver my animal(s) to more than one processor?
A: Yes. If you or your customers prefer more than one processor, we do our best to accommodate.
Q: Can customers pick up their animal(s) on the day of slaughter?
A: Absolutely! On-farm pickups are common. We simply ask that all customers are on time, prepared, and have the proper means of transport for their meat.
Q: Can I keep scraps or byproducts?
A: Yes. While disposal of byproducts is included in our service, you're welcome to keep organs, heads, hides, or any other parts you'd like.
Q: What are the expectations of the livestock owner?
A: To ensure a smooth and safe process, we ask that you:
- Have animals penned and easily accessible to the mobile unit before we arrive.
- Confirm your processing date with your preferred meat processor.
- Provide a list of customer names and phone numbers (if applicable) so we can tag each carcass correctly.
- When possible:
- Withhold feed for about 10 hours prior to slaughter (but continue to provide water).
- Keep animals scheduled for slaughter in a separate pen from others not being harvested.
