About Blue Sky RE, LLC
Blue Sky RE, LLC is a USDA-inspected establishment in Richland, Mississippi, in Rankin County, operating under establishment number M47506.

For farmers and ranchers
The federal record lists Blue Sky RE, LLC for cattle slaughter and meat processing, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer can have an animal harvested and returned as Not for Sale packages for the owner's own use. As a very small establishment in the lowest FSIS volume category, under 1,000 head per year, capacity is limited. Booking requirements, minimums, hanging or cutting fees, aging practices, and cut and wrap details are not stated in any source on file. Producers should call (601) 353-7100 to confirm species accepted, scheduling, and whether inspected slaughter for resale is available, as listed.
Blue Sky RE, 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.
