WP Meat Company

WP Meat Company operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M4093 at 421 Brockett St. in Enfield, White County, Illinois. 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 the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

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. Search results indicate the business operates as WP Meat Company LLC and is listed in the Illinois Association of Meat Processors directory at the same address and phone number. Secondary listings state the business originally opened as Enfield Slaughter Plant and came under new ownership in 2007, and that meat sold at retail and wholesale is raised by the operators themselves.

The federal record lists WP Meat Company for both slaughter and processing, with cattle and hogs among the species slaughtered under inspection, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter of customer-owned animals with packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS classifies it as Very Small with a reported slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is likely limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Producers should call (618) 963-2813 to ask about availability, as listed.

WP Meat Company 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 plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and a secondary search snippet attributed to the company states that the meat sold at retail and wholesale is raised by the operators. Specific products, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, and online ordering are not documented in the sources on file. Buyers should contact the establishment directly 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.
