JA Angus Processing LLC

JA Angus Processing LLC is a small USDA-inspected establishment at 11220 NW Durham Road in Bristol, Liberty County, Florida. It operates under establishment number M47662, with a grant of inspection on file dated January 19, 2023. FSIS lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing activities.

The establishment reports slaughtering cattle and hogs under federal inspection. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 1, meaning fewer than 1,000 head per year. Alongside inspected work, the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. A directory listing describes slaughter and processing for cattle, sheep, goat, and pig, which is broader than the cattle and hogs reported to FSIS.

The website on file is a Facebook page for Jerkins Angus Cattle Farm, and no website text was available for review. A state filing record indicates the limited liability company was established on August 18, 2020. Hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, and retail details are not yet on file beyond the federal record.

The plant is listed with FSIS for both slaughter and processing, and reports slaughtering cattle and hogs under inspection. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer can have animals they own processed with packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS places annual slaughter volume under 1,000 head, which indicates a small operation. Booking lead times, scheduling windows, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging or aging arrangements are not stated in the sources on file. A third party directory lists sheep and goat service as well, though only cattle and hogs are reported to FSIS, so species availability should be confirmed with the plant at (850) 643-1717.

JA Angus 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, which means some direct sales activity is on record with FSIS. No retail counter hours, product list, bundle or half and quarter offerings, delivery, shipping, or online ordering information is stated in the sources on file. Buyers would need to contact the plant at (850) 643-1717 to learn what is available.

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.
