70 Acres Butchery is set to break ground in January of 2026 with their new state-of-the-art cattle processing facility in Overton County!

This project will create 50+ high-paying jobs while processing 8,000+ head of cattle annually in a 20,000 square foot USDA-certified facility, providing vital support to farmers and ranchers across Tennessee and neighboring states.

"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 70 Acres Butchery. "This facility will create more than 50 high paying jobs and provide vital support for farmers and cattle producers across Tennessee and neighboring states."

County Executive Steven Barlow adds: "We're proud to welcome 70 Acres Butchery to Overton County. This project represents a major investment in our local economy and agricultural community."

"The Chamber 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 Livingston/Overton County Chamber of Commerce. "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 along Highway 111, this cutting-edge operation will fill a critical gap in regional beef supply chain while maintaining the highest standards for quality and humane practices.
