Weltin Meat Packing Inc.

Weltin Meat Packing Inc. operates at 8678 Fifth Street in Minden City, Sanilac County, Michigan, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M10061 and V10061. The federal record lists meat slaughter and meat processing, plus voluntary inspection activities covering meat, poultry, and rabbit for both slaughter and processing. The grant of inspection on file dates to August 26, 2021. FSIS classifies the plant as small and places its slaughter volume in category 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year. Cattle are the species reported slaughtered under inspection.

The plant reports both custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales. Its website describes locally grown beef and directs visitors to call for current specials. The website also states that deer processing is not being offered, so hunters should look elsewhere as listed.

Beyond the federal record and the brief website text, details on booking, pricing, cut and wrap options, hours, and ownership are not yet on file. Two phone numbers are published for the business: (989) 864-8888 and (989) 864-8328.

The plant reports cattle slaughter under federal inspection along with custom-exempt slaughter, meaning a producer can have animals processed for their own use with packages marked Not for Sale. Voluntary inspection activities for poultry and rabbit slaughter and processing are also on the federal record. FSIS lists the plant as small, with slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources. Producers should call (989) 864-8888 or (989) 864-8328 to ask about current availability.

Weltin Meat Packing Inc. 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 website advertises locally grown beef at what it describes as great prices and asks customers to call for current specials. The federal record notes retail-exempt sales, which supports direct sales to household buyers at the plant. The sources do not state whether halves and quarters, bundles, online ordering, shipping, or delivery are available. The website states deer processing is not being offered.

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.
