Siebert Premium Meats

Siebert Premium Meats operates at 2401 K25 in Colby, Kansas, in Thomas County, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M2774 and V2774. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, meat identification, and voluntary slaughter and processing of meat, with a grant of inspection date on file of February 4, 2025. FSIS classifies the establishment as Very Small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

The species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle and hogs. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales, which allows direct sales to household buyers at the establishment. The business website describes the operation as a USDA inspected slaughter facility in Colby and states that the Sieberts turned a personal hobby into the business; an associated Facebook page describes it as a custom slaughter facility located just north of Colby.

The website on file, siebertpremiummeats.com, includes a store page described as a source for locally grown Kansas beef, and a Shop Kansas Farms listing mentions locally grown beef and chicken. Full website text was not available for this record, so details on hours, booking procedures, cut and wrap options, fees, and shipping are not yet on file beyond what the federal record and these brief listings state. Buyers and producers should contact the plant directly at (785) 443-1650 to confirm current services, as listed.

The plant reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals can be handled either for resale under inspection or as customer-owned meat packaged Not for Sale. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle and hogs. FSIS lists the establishment as Very Small with a slaughter volume of under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, hanging weight fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file; producers should call (785) 443-1650 to confirm.

Siebert Premium Meats 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 its website includes a store page described as a source for locally grown Kansas beef. A Shop Kansas Farms listing mentions locally grown beef and chicken. Whether the plant sells halves, quarters, bundles, or individual cuts, and whether delivery, shipping, or online ordering are offered, is not stated in the sources 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.
