Proprietor

Stephen Tamplin (qualified and accredited NSW Food Authority Meat Safety Officer)

We located at Canowindra, Central West of New South Wales. We are an all species licenced private full service abattoir where all staff have formal qualification in animal welfare.

Tablelands Premier Meats is the trade name for our abattoir.


Our abattoir is licensed for all red and non-red meats, and we regularly process sheep, pigs, goats and cattle as well as emu and poultry - chickens, ducks, turkeys etc. Our beef floor is equipped with 1 tonne lifters, enabling processing of all sizes of livestock. We use Ultra Violet High Pressure Filter Water System instead of chemical when processing livestock.


Tablelands Premier Meats provides

• Dedicated processing for hobby farmers, organic producers, butchers,

  market retailer and the grower/consumer.

• Private slaughtering service available , no minimum number required

• Butchery and packing available

• Volume rates and contract rates negotiable

• Must have PIC & NLIS declaration and / or Pig Pass and  ear tags with all stock.

Tablelands Premier Meats does not undertake halal or kosher or other ritual slaughter.

Our undercover receiving pens are designed to protect animals from heat and nature's elements and has different size pens to accommodate different numbers and species of animal. The pens are adjacent to the abattoir to provide stress free environment for the animals and handlers with a much more effective and efficient process and system, and separated from our own yards to promote biosecurity.


Our facility can process cattle up to 600 kg live weight. Our pig processing line has been up and running since August 2020 with the capacity of processing over 30 pigs per hour and can process pigs up to 200 kg, the outcome exceeds expectations and turning black and coloured and hairy pigs into perfectly polished white carcasses is an amazing feat. We recently installed a state of art semi automatic scalder and plucker unit for poultry able to process 150 birds per hour. If you are interested in finding out more or ready to book your livestock in please call Stephen on m.0447712370.
