About Ross’s Custom Slaughter

Our Story and Local Roots

At Ross’s Custom Slaughter, we believe quality meat starts with careful handling and honest service. Our business began with a simple goal — to give families, hunters, and farmers in Graysville, Tennessee a dependable place to bring their animals for custom processing.


We’re located at 2667 Graysville Road, right in the heart of Bledsoe and Rhea County.  Over the years, our work has earned us a loyal customer base who value traditional butchering done the right way. Whether we’re processing a family’s first beef cow, a hunter’s deer, or livestock for a local farmer, every job receives the same personal attention.


Our business is family-owned and operated, and that makes a difference. You won’t find an automated phone system or long lines here — just a team that treats your order like it’s our own.

What We Stand For

  • Integrity: We treat each customer and every animal with respect.

  • Transparency: Your order is handled individually, never mixed or substituted.

  • Quality: Every cut is made by hand, according to your preferences.

  • Community: We support local agriculture and rural families in the Tennessee Valley

  • Consistency: Every order receives the same attention to detail — no shortcuts, ever.

We believe that honesty and craftsmanship go hand in hand. That’s why customers continue to trust us with their meat year after year.

  • Sausage, jerky, or specialty options

  • Custom packaging and labeling

What We Do

We specialize in custom slaughter and meat processing for a wide range of animals — beef, pigs, sheep, goats, and deer. Customers can bring in their own livestock or purchase directly from our farm-raised beef and pigs.

Clean Facilities and Professional Handling

Our facility follows strict sanitation and safety standards. We ensure that every animal is processed efficiently and respectfully, keeping meat quality high from start to finish. Cold storage protects your order until it’s ready for pickup.


We can accommodate special cutting or trimming requests when needed.

Why Our Customers Choose Us

In an age where most processing is done on assembly lines, Ross’s Custom Slaughter stands apart as a local, hands-on operation. Customers choose us because they know exactly who is handling their meat and how it’s being processed.

Farmers rely on dependable processors to turn their animals into quality products for customers. By choosing a local butcher, you’re keeping your money in the community and reducing the need for large commercial processors.

Raising Livestock for Sale

In addition to processing, we raise beef and pigs right here in Graysville. Customers who don’t have their own livestock can purchase directly from us and have the animal processed to their preferences. This gives families access to locally raised, high-quality meat without the uncertainty of big-store products.
