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. The business features rare, difficult-to-obtain EGLE-approved wastewater discharge permits. Additionally, modern three-phase electrical service and 2025 refrigeration upgrades provide a scalable infrastructure that far exceeds current operations.

Facilities:

  • Close to the Grand Rapids urban market, making it ideal both wholesale operations & farm-to-table consumer.
  • High-barrier-to-entry infrastructure, including a Michigan EGLE-approved wastewater holding pond with CURRENT GWD permit

Real Estate / Lease Terms:

  • Available for Purchase, 40 acres

Growth Opportunity:

  • Competitors are in developed areas that restrict the expansion, whereas this 40-acre site and agricultural zoning allow for significant growth, such as adding a second production line or a standalone smokehouse
  • Retail Storefront Expansion

Competition:

  • Sole USDA Slaughter Facility in Key Counties
  • Fully integrated, year-round USDA and custom services for cattle, hogs, lambs, and goats

Support & Training:

  • Ownership is committed to a transition period to support continuity for employees and its customers.
  • To ensure a smooth handoff, the seller will provide training covering scheduling, customer management, and regulatory compliance.
