Detweiler Meats LLC

Detweiler Meats LLC operates at 115 S. Madisonville St. in Crofton, Christian County, Kentucky, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M46185 and P46185. The federal record lists the plant for both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of April 8, 2022. FSIS classifies the operation as Very Small.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle and hogs. The plant's reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest FSIS category, under 1,000 head per year. Detweiler Meats also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales.

No website text is available for this establishment. The web address on file, visithopkinsville.com, is a regional visitor site rather than a plant site, and secondary listings found in search results provide only the address and phone number. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, and product lists, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists Detweiler Meats for both slaughter and processing of cattle and hogs under USDA inspection, and it also reports custom-exempt slaughter, which is the arrangement used when a farmer keeps the meat from their own animal in packages marked Not for Sale. Reported slaughter volume is under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is likely limited, though no booking lead times, minimums, fees, or cut and wrap details are stated in any source on file. Farmers should call (270) 424-6328 to confirm species accepted, current scheduling, and whether inspected or custom work is available.

Detweiler Meats 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.

Detweiler Meats reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which indicates some direct sales activity at the establishment, and secondary directory listings categorize it as a butcher shop. No source on file describes a retail counter's inventory, halves or quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Households 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.
