The Limestone Meathouse

The Limestone Meathouse operates at 305 Limestone Road in Monticello, Jefferson County, Florida, under USDA FSIS establishment number M11110. The federal record lists the plant for both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing, with cattle and hogs reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment as Very Small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in category 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is July 1, 2014.

In addition to federally inspected work, the establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. It also reports retail-exempt sales, the category that covers a counter selling directly to household buyers. Secondary business listings describe the location as a butcher shop and repeat the phone number, (850) 997-4446, that appears in the federal record.

No website text was available for this record. A Facebook post dated November 18, 2025 refers to the approaching hunting season, but the announcement text is incomplete in the available material, so no game handling service can be confirmed here. Details beyond the federal record and these directory listings, including species pricing, booking windows, cut and wrap options, and product lists, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists this establishment for slaughter of cattle and hogs under inspection, and it reports custom-exempt slaughter in which the animals remain the property of the customer and the finished packages are marked Not for Sale. That combination means a producer may be able to arrange either inspected slaughter for meat intended for sale or custom work for personal use, as listed. FSIS classifies the plant as Very Small with reported slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited and scheduling should be confirmed directly by phone. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap details are not stated in any source on file.

The Limestone Meathouse 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, and secondary directory listings describe it as a butcher shop at 305 Limestone Road in Monticello. Because the plant also slaughters cattle and hogs under inspection, beef and pork are the species associated with the site in the federal record. Whether halves, quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are offered is not stated in any available source, and no product or price list is on file. Buyers should call (850) 997-4446 to confirm 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.
