Fred's Meat and Processing

Fred's Meat and Processing handles slaughter and processing services in Ashley, Illinois, serving farms throughout the southern Illinois region near Mount Vernon.

The facility works with a wide range of livestock and poultry, including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Both large animal slaughter and poultry processing are offered under one roof, which makes it a practical stop for small farms and homesteaders raising a mix of species rather than a single type of livestock.

This kind of full-service setup tends to suit producers who need custom cuts for personal use, direct-to-consumer meat sales, or seasonal poultry processing around harvest time. Farmers raising diversified herds and flocks often look for exactly this combination of species coverage in one location, cutting down on the need to coordinate with multiple processors for different animals throughout the year.
