Meat Packing
Kent, MI (region)

Overview
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational, USDA-inspected livestock slaughter and processing facility strategically located on 40 acres in the West Michigan region. As the only USDA slaughter facility serving its specific three-county area, the business enjoys a protected market position and high regional demand.
This business provides comprehensive slaughter and processing for cattle, hogs, lambs, and goats. It offers both “Not For Sale” custom processing and USDA-inspected services for commercial retail and wholesale markets.
