Custom Meat Processing Near Campbellford - Local, Certified Service

If you're farming in Campbellford or anywhere in Trent Hills, Rua Meats gives you a licensed processor within easy reach. We're a provincially licensed, ISNA Halal Certified abattoir in Foxboro, about 40 minutes east of Campbellford.

Industrial facilities process thousands of animals daily on standardized lines. They don't adjust for your needs. They don't respect naturally-raised livestock. They prioritize speed over care.

Rua Meats is different. We serve farmers, restaurants, gyms, and families across Campbellford, Hastings, Warkworth, Havelock, and the surrounding Trent Hills and Northumberland County area - with custom meat processing done to YOUR exact specifications.

What Is Custom Meat Processing?

Custom meat processing means you bring your naturally-raised animal to a facility where it's humanely slaughtered, butchered, and packaged according to YOUR exact specifications - not standardized industrial cuts.

This matters because:

  • You control how your meat is cut
  • You choose packaging style and portion sizes
  • You work with a processor who understands naturally-raised livestock
  • You get transparent pricing and detailed documentation
  • You support a local business that respects animals

Step 4: Pickup or Delivery

Step 5: Payment

Pay based on hanging weight and cuts. Transparent pricing, no surprises.

Understanding Hanging Weight vs Packaged Weight

Hanging Weight = Carcass after slaughter (hide, organs, head removed). This is what you pay for.

Packaged Weight = Final meat you take home after butchering and trimming.

Expect packaged weight to be 60 - 75% of hanging weight.

Example:

  • Hanging weight: 600 lbs
  • Packaged weight: ~400-450 lbs (your actual meat)

This is normal. Any honest processor explains this upfront.
