Fatback

Fatback offers livestock and poultry processing services in Eva, Alabama, serving farms throughout the North Alabama region near Decatur. The operation handles slaughter and processing for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, making it a practical option for producers raising a mix of species.

Their work covers both red meat and poultry processing, which suits small farms and homesteaders who need one facility to manage animals from multiple herds or flocks rather than coordinating separate processors. This kind of full-service setup can simplify logistics for seasonal harvests, whether it's a handful of hogs, a flock of turkeys before the holidays, or a rotation of cattle and goats throughout the year.

For farmers in the area looking to keep processing local, Fatback provides an alternative to larger regional plants, with the flexibility to work across species that many single-purpose processors don't offer. Producers considering their services should reach out directly to confirm current capacity, scheduling, and any specific requirements for their animals.
