B&E Meats

B&E Meats operates at 330 3rd Ave SW in Crookston, Polk County, Minnesota, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M3990 and P3990. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of August 28, 2026. Species detail is not reported to FSIS, and no size class is reported.

The establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer and returns packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales, which covers direct sales to household buyers at the establishment. Search listings associated with the business describe beef, pork, poultry, seafood, custom processing, and wild game processing, and a menu is referenced in third party restaurant listings, suggesting prepared food sales alongside meat sales.

No website is on file with the registry, and no verified website text was available. Beyond the federal record and a small number of secondary listings, details such as booking windows, kill days, fees, cut and wrap options, and species accepted are not yet on file. Contact information also differs between sources: the FSIS record lists (218) 289-0916, while a Yelp listing for the same address shows (218) 281-5213.

The plant reports both meat slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals owned by a producer can be slaughtered and returned in packages marked Not for Sale for the owner's own use. Secondary listings mention beef, pork, poultry, and wild game processing. Species accepted, scheduling lead times, minimums, hanging weight or per head fees, and cut and wrap details are not stated in any source on file, so a producer should confirm these directly with the establishment using the phone number in the federal record.

B&E 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, and secondary listings describe beef, pork, poultry, and seafood along with a menu of prepared items, indicating over the counter purchasing at the Crookston location. Whether halves and quarters, bundles, 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.
