About Northern Beef Products, Inc.

Northern Beef Products, Inc., doing business as Hoffman's Meats, is a USDA-inspected establishment at 625 E. 8th Street in Greeley, Weld County, Colorado. It holds establishment number M981 and is listed with FSIS for Meat Processing and Meat Slaughter. Cattle are the only species reported as slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as small, with a grant of inspection date on file of May 4, 2022, and places it in slaughter volume category 2.0, a step above the under 1,000 head per year category. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

The website on file, northernbeef.com, presents Northern Beef Industries (NBI) as an international animal protein trading and sourcing business active since 1994, commercializing beef, pork, poultry, and offals sourced from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and the United States. That site describes market analysis, sourcing guidance, and supplier partnerships rather than the Greeley slaughter floor. So the plant reports cattle slaughter and meat processing to FSIS, while its website describes a multi-origin protein trading operation and names no retail counter, no cut and wrap service, and no plant hours.

Secondary directory listings place Northern Beef Products at the same Greeley address and phone number and categorize it as a meat packer or meat wholesaler. One directory states a founding year of 1992, which does not match the 1994 date used on the company website. Details beyond the federal record and these listings, including booking practices, pricing, and public sales, are not yet on file.

The sources on file state nothing about booking lead times, drop-off scheduling, kill fees, hanging weight pricing, cut and wrap options, or whether livestock from outside producers is accepted. A producer considering hauling cattle here should contact the plant directly at (970) 351-7364 to confirm what is available, as listed.

Northern Beef Products, Inc. operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.
