A & B Meat Processing

A & B Meat Processing operates at 5170 Hwy 172 in Comer, Georgia, in Madison County. The plant carries USDA establishment number M3957 and is listed with the Food Safety and Inspection Service for both meat slaughter and meat processing. FSIS classifies it as a very small establishment, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. Cattle and hogs are the species reported as slaughtered under inspection.

The federal record shows the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. A Facebook page for A&B Processing in Comer references fresh cut grass fed beef for sale, a butcher shop being open, and cooked food including BBQ sandwiches, wings, BBQ beans, and coleslaw. Those posts are secondary and are not confirmed by the federal record.

No website is on file for this establishment. Hours, pricing, booking lead times, cut and wrap options, and scheduling details are not yet on file beyond what appears above. The listed phone number is (706) 783-0009.

A & B Meat Processing 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 a Facebook page for A&B Processing in Comer mentions a butcher shop and fresh cut grass fed beef for sale, along with cooked items such as BBQ sandwiches, wings, BBQ beans, and coleslaw. Those details come from social media posts rather than the federal record. Retail hours, bundle or half and quarter beef offerings, online ordering, delivery, and shipping are not stated in any source 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.
