Mayar's Halal Meat Processing

Mayar's Halal Meat Processing operates at 13196 North Bird St., Livingston, California, in Merced County. The establishment holds USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M21595 and P21595, with a grant of inspection date on file of December 27, 2021. FSIS lists the plant's activities as meat processing and meat slaughter and classifies it in the Very Small size category.

According to the federal record, the plant slaughters cattle, sheep, and lamb under inspection, reports halal slaughter, and reports custom-exempt processing. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 3.0, meaning volume above the smallest reporting tier rather than under 1,000 head per year.

The only website on file is a Facebook presence, and no website text was available for this record. One secondary listing states that Mayar's Halal Meat is carried at East Market and Restaurant in the area, but that detail is not confirmed by the plant itself. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, and ownership, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists cattle, sheep, and lamb as species slaughtered under inspection, and the plant reports custom-exempt processing, which is the arrangement typically used when an owner brings an animal back as meat for personal use. FSIS classifies the establishment as Very Small with a slaughter volume category of 3.0. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should contact the plant at (209) 394-7995 to confirm current availability and terms.

Mayar's Halal Meat Processing reports custom-exempt processing 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.

Halal slaughter is reported to FSIS, which is relevant to households seeking halal beef, mutton, or lamb. A secondary Facebook listing indicates that Mayar's Halal Meat is sold at East Market and Restaurant in the area, but the establishment has not confirmed retail sales, halves and quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering in any source on file.

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.
