Backstraps Deer Processing, LLC.

Backstraps Deer Processing, LLC. is a federally inspected meat establishment at 8561 Columbus Rd., Lizella, Georgia, in Bibb County. It holds establishment number M3804 and is listed with the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service for meat processing and meat slaughter. FSIS classifies the plant in the very small size category, and the grant of inspection date on file is June 1, 2026.

The establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer and returns product packaged and marked Not for Sale. It also reports halal slaughter. Species detail is not reported to FSIS, so the specific animals handled cannot be confirmed from the federal record.

The only website on file is a Facebook page, and no website text was available for this record. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, retail sales, and ownership history, are not yet on file. State business filings list Jason Thomley as registered agent and Paul Harkness as an organizer of the LLC.

The federal record lists both slaughter and processing at this location, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, which means animals owned by the customer are handled and the returned packages are marked Not for Sale. Halal slaughter is also reported to FSIS. Species handled are not reported, and no information on booking lead times, minimums, kill day scheduling, fees, or cut and wrap options is on file. Farmers should contact the plant at (478) 972-2249 to confirm what species and services it takes, as listed.

Backstraps Deer 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.
