2 Creek Butchery, LLC

2 Creek Butchery, LLC operates a very small USDA-inspected slaughter and processing plant at 3525 Farm Road 1040 near Monett, Missouri, in Barry County. The establishment holds FSIS establishment numbers M947 and V947, with a grant of inspection dated July 7, 2023. Activities reported to FSIS include meat slaughter, meat processing, and voluntary slaughter and processing of meat. The plant reports slaughtering cattle and hogs under inspection, in the FSIS volume category of under 1,000 head per year.

The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. Its website describes the operation as a new Southwest Missouri locally owned and operated USDA-inspected beef and pork facility, located a few miles west of Monett and a few miles south of Pierce City on Farm Road 1040, built with what it calls state-of-the-art processing and packaging equipment.

The website states the business offers custom cutting with a standard 14-day hang and a premium 21-day hang on request, and describes plans for a meat shop selling family farmed USDA-inspected Wagyu, premium Angus beef, pork, and other meat products. The site carries a "Now scheduling" notice, as listed. Details beyond the federal record and this website text, such as pricing, minimums, or shipping, are not yet on file.

The plant reports both USDA-inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals can be processed either for resale under inspection or for the owner's own use with Not for Sale labeling. Species slaughtered under inspection are cattle and hogs, at a reported volume of under 1,000 head per year, which places it in the very small size class. The website states custom cutting is offered with a standard 14-day hang and a premium 21-day hang upon request, and carries a "Now scheduling" notice as listed. Booking lead times, hauling instructions, kill day schedules, minimums, and cut and wrap fees are not stated in the sources. Farmers should call (417) 476-5507 to confirm availability.

2 Creek Butchery, 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.

The website describes a meat shop where customers can purchase family farmed USDA-inspected Wagyu, premium Angus beef, a selection of pork, and other meat products, and the plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS. The sources do not state whether halves and quarters, bundles, online ordering, delivery, or shipping are available. Listed hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, closed Sunday.

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.
