Swift Beef Company

Swift Beef Company, doing business as JBS USA Food Company, operates a cattle slaughter and beef processing establishment at 800 N. 8th Avenue in Greeley, Weld County, Colorado. The plant holds FSIS establishment numbers M969 and V969, with a grant of inspection date on file of January 6, 2022. FSIS lists its activities as meat slaughter, meat processing, and export certification, and classifies the plant in the large size category. Cattle are the only species reported slaughtered under inspection, and the FSIS slaughter volume category is 4.0, the highest tier in that scale.

The company website on file, swiftblackangus.com, markets the Swift and Swift Black Angus brands rather than describing plant level services. It states that products are offered across USDA Prime, Choice, and Select grades from grain-fed cattle, packaged in branded and graded bags and shipped in Swift branded boxes. The site also lists ground beef, offal, and value-added products in a range of portions and packaging formats, including case-ready packaged products aimed at retail backroom efficiency. Corporate contact information is given as JBS USA Food Company, 1770 Promontory Circle, Greeley, CO 80634, phone 800-727-BEEF, with FSIS listing the plant phone as (970) 951-0800.

The website is directed at retail grocery and food service buyers, with pages describing two-tiered retail programs, point-of-sale and marketing support, and food service programs. Asked where consumers can buy the beef, the site answers that products are carried in retail grocery stores, club warehouse stores, and restaurants around the globe and advises asking a local grocery meat manager. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, and no information about on-site retail sales, hours, or farmer scheduling is on file.

The sources describe a wholesale and branded supply model rather than direct sales to households. The website states that Swift Black Angus beef is carried in retail grocery stores, club warehouse stores, and restaurants worldwide, and recommends asking a local grocery store meat manager whether the brand is stocked. No retail counter at the Greeley plant, no halves or quarters, and no online ordering, delivery, or shipping to consumers are 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.
