Mayar Meat

Mayar Meat operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service grant numbers M3645 and P3645 at 1133 Coleman Ave in Laton, Fresno County, California. The federal record lists meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing activities, with cattle, sheep, and lamb reported as species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as Very Small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in category 2.0, above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports halal slaughter. The grant of inspection date on file is 2026-02-20.

The website on file, mayarsmeat.com, describes Mayar's Meat Market at 23149 Clawiter Rd, Hayward, California, a halal retail meat market and online shop. The site does not describe the Laton plant, its slaughter floor, or custom processing arrangements, so the two records cover different locations under the same name. The site states all meats are halal-certified, that butchers prepare custom cuts daily, and that the business serves individual families, local businesses, and restaurants. Phone numbers also differ: FSIS lists (510) 290-8996 for the establishment, while the website contact page lists (510) 963-5412 for the Hayward market.

A secondary directory listing states that Mayar Meat provides slaughter and processing services in Laton and serves farms and ranches in the San Joaquin area. Beyond the federal record and the retail website, details about booking, scheduling, fees, cut and wrap, or on-site sales at the Laton plant are not yet on file.

The federal record shows Mayar Meat is set up for the work a livestock producer needs: meat slaughter and processing under grant M3645, poultry processing under P3645, and cattle, sheep, and lamb reported as species slaughtered under inspection. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter for animals the customer already owns, with resulting packages marked Not for Sale, and reports halal slaughter. A secondary directory listing describes the Laton plant as serving farms and ranches in the San Joaquin area. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap details are not stated in the sources on file, so producers would need to contact the plant directly at the FSIS-listed number, (510) 290-8996, to confirm what is available as listed.

Mayar Meat 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.

The website on file operates as Mayar's Meat Market, a halal retail counter and online shop at 23149 Clawiter Rd in Hayward, California, which is a separate address from the Laton plant in the federal record. The site lists beef, chicken, goat, and lamb, states that all meats are halal-certified, and offers custom cuts prepared daily in family-size portions or bulk restaurant orders. Products include ground beef in different lean-to-fat ratios, stew meat, wagyu beef, tomahawk, ribeye and sirloin steaks, beef ribs, shank and tongue, lamb chops, chicken parts, and packaged beef and chicken hot dogs, hot links, and smoked chicken sausages. The site states that orders are currently in-store pickup only, with delivery possibly available for bulk or wholesale customers on request. Halves, quarters, freezer bundles, and shipping are not mentioned in the sources.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
