Canaan Mountain Meats LLC

Canaan Mountain Meats LLC is a very small USDA-inspected establishment in Colorado City, Mohave County, Arizona, operating under establishment number M47747. The federal record lists both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing activities, with a grant of inspection date on file of November 22, 2022. The address on file with FSIS is 220 North Juniper Street, and the listed phone number is (702) 524-3331.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle and sheep and lamb. The plant is placed in FSIS slaughter volume category 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, which means it handles animals owned by the customer and returns the meat in packages marked Not for Sale.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary business directory listings describe it as a butchering and meat processing business and show a second Colorado City address on West Mohave Avenue, which differs from the Juniper Street address reported to FSIS. Beyond the federal record and those brief directory descriptions, details such as hours, pricing, scheduling, cut and wrap options, and retail sales are not yet on file.

The federal record shows this establishment performs both slaughter and processing under inspection, with cattle and sheep and lamb reported as the species slaughtered. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer can have animals they own harvested and returned in packages marked Not for Sale, which cannot be resold. FSIS places the plant in its smallest slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, hanging weight pricing, cut and wrap fees, and drop-off instructions are not stated in the sources on file, and farmers should confirm current scheduling and species availability directly by phone at (702) 524-3331. Note that the FSIS address is 220 North Juniper Street while directory listings show a West Mohave Avenue address, so the delivery location should be verified before hauling animals.

Canaan Mountain Meats LLC reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.
