  2. Your appointment is for Between 7-8am on the date scheduled.  You will NEVER be told to dropoff at any other time.
  3. If your appointment includes USDA inspection, you must arrive before 8am without exception.
  4. Trackside offers live weights but does not guarantee those weights because our scale is not certified, these are for your informational purposes only. Hogs will NOT be weighed at dropoff but will be weighed prior to slaughter. Live weights are not available for lambs or goats.
  5. Trackside staff will unload your animal for you, if you choose to assist in the unloading process, you accept the risk of dealing with livestock.
  6. If you choose to assist in unloading animals, please wait until Trackside staff has instructed you to open the door of your trailer. If you believe your livestock might be “wild or aggressive”, please advise staff prior to opening the trailer door.
  7. It is your responsibility to check your trailer door after livestock are unloaded and prior to departure.
  8. Ear tags are beneficial to the identification process but not essential. If your beef does not have ear tags we will place a back tag until the lot number has been assigned to your animal.
  9. Trackside has holding pens to contain the livestock until they are harvested. Your animal will be moved into the harvest floor at our discretion.
  10. Trackside cannot have flies entering the building, fly control on the farm is very helpful. Simply spraying the cattle on the trailer prior to leaving the farm during the warm months of the year will serve as an effective method to control flies. Trackside will treat the livestock again upon arrival as necessary to prevent flies.
  11. Customers are not allowed on the kill floor under any circumstances.
  12. Horned cattle may not be able to egress our handling facilities and may be turned away at our discretion.
