OVERTON COUNTY, Tenn., Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 70 Acres Butchery is proud to announce plans to begin construction in January 2026 on what will be a comprehensive cattle processing and slaughter facility designed to meet the diverse needs of local ranchers and farmers. Our state-of-the-art operation, strategically located in Overton County, Tennessee, will have the capacity to handle up to 8,000+ head of cattle annually. Our experienced staff will ensure efficient, humane, and professional processing throughout every stage of our operation.
The heart of our business is our planned cutting-edge 20,000 square foot slaughter facility. Equipped with customized modern technology, we will offer the most advanced and humane slaughter methods available in today's market. This commitment to ethical practices and technological innovation will set us apart as a leader in the industry. Beyond processing, 70 Acres Butchery will provide USDA-certified meat packaging and distribution services. This integrated approach will allow us to supply high-quality beef products directly to grocery stores, restaurants, and consumers throughout the region. By managing the entire process from slaughter to distribution, we can ensure unparalleled quality control and traceability, meeting the growing demand for locally-sourced, premium beef products.
"After more than a year of planning, we're thrilled to be moving forward with construction in Overton County," said Edwin W. Leslie-Kubat, CEO of the 70 Acres Butchery, LLC. "This facility will create more than 50 high paying jobs and provide vital support for farmers and cattle producers across Tennessee and neighboring states."
Civic and government leaders in Livingston and Overton County are supportive and excited about the new 70 Acres Butchery. "We're proud to welcome 70 Acres Butchery to Overton County," said Steven Barlow, Overton County Executive. "This project represents a major investment in our local economy and agricultural community. The jobs it will create and the support it provides to area farmers will have a lasting, positive impact on our region."
The area's business community agrees. "The Livingston/Overton County Chamber of Commerce is working with 70 Acres Butchery as they bring this state-of-the-art facility to Overton County," said Zach Stephens, President & CEO of the Chamber. "We're collaborating with state and local partners to ensure this project strengthens our agricultural heritage while creating new opportunities for our farmers and workforce." Located on 7.5+ acres on Highway 111 in the Livingston area, the new slaughter and butcher facility serves to fill market demand in key areas.
The new development addresses critical gaps in the regional beef supply chain, including:
- Limited availability of reliable, high-quality USDA-certified cattle processing and slaughter services in our region.
- Aging infrastructure in the industry leading to delays and inefficiencies for local producers.
- A concerning lack of environmentally friendly and humane slaughter practices in the region.
- Increased consumer demand for domestic beef, driven by reduced international imports, has created a substantial shortfall in U.S. beef production capacity.
These challenges present a clear opportunity for 70 Acres Butchery to establish a state-of the-art cattle processing and slaughter facility. By addressing these issues, we can not only meet the growing demand for quality beef but also set new industry standards for efficiency, sustainability, and animal welfare.
