Green River Meats LLC

Green River Meats LLC operates at 4000 Greensburg Rd, Campbellsville, in Taylor County, Kentucky, under USDA FSIS establishment number M2628. The federal record lists the plant for both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as Very Small and places its slaughter volume in category 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is November 5, 2025. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

The company website describes a multi-species operation and states that it sources from local farmers and ranchers, using only locally raised meats. Service pages cover beef, pork, and lamb processing, describing how carcasses are broken down into sides, quarters, primals, and sub-primals. The site also advertises deer processing during the fall and winter season, handled during regular business hours or until daily capacity is reached, with any changes noted on the company's social media.

Posted processing fees on the website list a beef kill fee of $69 with a hanging weight processing fee of $0.82 per pound, and $1.00 per pound for patties, stew meats, and tenderized steaks. Pork is listed with a $55 kill fee and $0.80 per pound hanging weight processing, with $1.00 per pound for patties or tenderized meat, alongside a separate pork flat fee listing of $125.00 and $1.00 per pound for ground product. Details beyond these listings, including booking lead times and minimums, are not stated in the sources on file.

The federal record lists Green River Meats for slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection, plus custom-exempt slaughter for animals the customer already owns, with those packages marked Not for Sale. Posted fees on the website are a $69 kill fee for beef with $0.82 per pound on hanging weight, and a $55 kill fee for pork with $0.80 per pound on hanging weight. Value-added items such as patties, stew meat, and tenderized steaks are listed at $1.00 per pound. A separate pork flat fee of $125.00 is also listed, with ground product at $1.00 per pound. The plant is a Very Small establishment with slaughter volume reported under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, and specific cut and wrap options are not stated in the sources on file; the website directs producers to contact the team about available cuts for cattle, hog, or lamb.

Green River 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.

The plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and customer reviews quoted on the website mention buying steaks and chicken on site, which indicates a retail counter. The website describes locally raised meats sourced from area farmers and ranchers. Halves and quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, and online ordering are not described in the sources on file. Households should confirm current retail availability and stock directly with the establishment.

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.
