Swine & Bovine Processing, LLC

Swine & Bovine Processing, LLC operates at 351 E Elks Club Road in Wray, Colorado, in Yuma County. The plant holds establishment numbers M2336 and V2336 and appears in the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service directory with a grant of inspection dated January 24, 2025. FSIS lists its activities as Meat Processing, Meat Slaughter, Voluntary Processing - Meat, and Voluntary Slaughter - Meat, and classifies the establishment as Very Small.

The species reported slaughtered under federal inspection are cattle and bison. FSIS places the plant in slaughter volume category 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. A Facebook listing under the name S&B Processing describes a USDA-certified beef and bison processing facility in Wray, and a bank community page describes custom harvesting and aging of meat.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no first-party site text was available.

Callers should confirm current services directly at (970) 425-8987.

The plant is listed with FSIS for both meat slaughter and meat processing, and reports cattle and bison as the species slaughtered under inspection. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so producers can have animals harvested and returned in packages marked Not for Sale for their own use. FSIS classifies the establishment as Very Small with a slaughter volume of under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is likely limited. Booking procedures, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, hanging or aging periods, and drop-off arrangements are not stated in any source on file and would need to be confirmed by phone.

Swine & Bovine Processing, 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.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which allows some direct sales of meat products from the facility, and it also processes animals owned by customers under a custom exemption. Whether a retail counter is staffed, whether halves or quarters or bundles are sold, and whether delivery, shipping, or online ordering are available are not stated in the sources on file. Households interested in buying beef or bison would need to contact the plant directly at the listed phone number.

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.
