The locker trade is a business model consisting of raising animals (mainly mammals) to slaughter weight and selling them in wholes or halves to individuals who then pay a meat processor to slaughter, butcher and wrap and freeze the meat (in a freezer or "meat locker") for long term storage. Alternatively the customer may choose to have them prepared for a special meal or event - often as a whole roasted animal.
Jacob Springs Farm produces locker pork, beef, lamb and occasionally goat in a unique way and markets many of these animals through the locker trade.
