Palisade City Meats & Processing

Palisade City Meats & Processing operates at 510 Fergus Ave in Henning, Minnesota, in Otter Tail County, under USDA FSIS establishment number M3999. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with cattle reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment as Very Small, and its slaughter volume category is 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is June 26, 2026.

In addition to federally inspected work, the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. Search listings describe the business as a custom meat processor in Henning and reference a grand opening announcement dated March 2026, along with posts mentioning a joint effort with Angie's Acres.

The federal record lists Palisade City Meats & Processing for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection, and it reports custom-exempt slaughter, so animals owned by a farmer can be processed with packages marked Not for Sale. The plant is a Very Small establishment in FSIS terms and falls in slaughter volume category 1, under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should contact the plant at (218) 548-5015 to confirm species accepted and current scheduling.

Palisade City Meats & Processing 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, which allows sales of meat directly to household customers, but no source on file describes a retail counter, halves and quarters, bundles, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Households interested in buying should call (218) 548-5015 to ask what is available. Nothing in the record indicates the plant is currently open to walk-in customers.

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.
