Mobleys Custom Cut

Mobley's Custom Cut operates at 6769 180th Street in McAlpin, Suwannee County, Florida, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M11168 and P11168. The federal record lists meat slaughter and meat processing activities, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as very small, with a slaughter volume category of 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection on file is dated April 23, 2018. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and returned in packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales.

The business website describes Mobley's Custom Cuts as a family owned and operated butcher shop started by Leo Mobley Sr. in 1982 on a 250 acre farm where the family raises grass-fed, grain-finished cattle. The site states that all meat is processed on the farm in the USDA-inspected facility and that the operation has been running more than 40 years. Leo Mobley Jr. and the Mobley family are identified as the current voice of the business.

Alongside the plant, the family runs a county store offering hand cut meats plus jams, jellies, sauces, spices, and seasonal cane syrup made on site. The website sells beef cuts online and states that meats from the facility are shipped directly to customers. Details on custom booking, scheduling, or cut and wrap fees for livestock owners are not stated on the website and are not yet on file beyond the federal record.

The federal record lists Mobley's Custom Cut as a very small plant with both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter, handling cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, at a reported volume of under 1,000 head per year. Custom-exempt work means animals owned by the customer are returned in packages marked Not for Sale. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, hanging weight or cut and wrap fees, and whether outside livestock are accepted are not stated in the sources on file. Farmers should call (386) 963-5215 to confirm current availability and terms.

Mobleys Custom Cut 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 website describes a small county store in McAlpin selling hand cut meats from cattle the family raises on its 250 acre farm, described as grass-fed and grain-finished, along with jams, jellies, sauces, spices, and seasonal cane syrup made on site. Named beef items include boneless ribeye, New York strip, sirloin, tenderloin filet mignon, premium ground chuck, mild country smoked sausage, and jerky. The site offers products for online purchase and states that meats from the USDA-inspected facility are shipped directly to customers. Halves, quarters, and bundle options are not mentioned in the sources 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.
