About WRJ Meats and Custom Cuts
WRJ Meats and Custom Cuts operates at 3786 Avant Road in Blackshear, Pierce County, Georgia, under USDA FSIS establishment number M1965. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing and classifies it as a very small establishment. The grant of inspection date on file is April 15, 2026. Species detail is not reported to FSIS.
The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer and returns packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. The listed phone number is (912) 807-3456.
The website on file for this listing, meatmarketstores.com, is a national butcher shop directory rather than a site operated by the plant, so it contains no operational detail specific to WRJ Meats and Custom Cuts beyond a directory entry describing it as a family-owned butcher shop and custom processor.

For farmers and ranchers
The federal record lists WRJ Meats and Custom Cuts for both slaughter and processing, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which the animal remains the property of the customer and the finished packages are marked Not for Sale. Species accepted are not reported to FSIS, and booking windows, scheduling policy, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file. A secondary listing gives business hours of Monday through Friday, 9am to 4pm, and the listed phone number is (912) 807-3456. Farmers should call to confirm species, availability, and whether inspected or custom work is being scheduled, as listed information may change.
WRJ Meats and Custom Cuts 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.
For households
The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and a directory entry describes it as a family-owned butcher shop and custom processor. No product list, counter inventory, bundle or half and quarter offerings, delivery, shipping, or online ordering is described in the sources on file. Households should call (912) 807-3456 to ask 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.
