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. 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 operation as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is August 2, 2024.

The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals that remain the property of the customer and returns the meat in packages marked Not for Sale.

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.
