BJG Meat Co LLC

BJG Meat Co LLC operates at 2258 Carter 266 in Grandin, Missouri, in Carter County, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M45572 and P45572. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with cattle and hogs reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, and its reported slaughter volume category is under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection on file is dated January 23, 2024.

The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales. Secondary listings describe BJG Meat Co as a locally family-owned and operated business offering custom beef and hog processing for farmers and ranchers. One directory listing characterizes the operation as mobile slaughter, which is not reflected in the federal record.

No website is on file with this registry, and no first-party website text was available for review. Details beyond the federal record and these secondary listings, including hours, pricing, booking windows, cut and wrap options, and retail offerings, are not yet on file. The listed phone number is (573) 593-4199.

BJG Meat Co 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 plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and one secondary listing refers to a full-service operation, but no source on file names specific retail products, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Households interested in buying meat directly should contact the establishment at (573) 593-4199 to ask what is available.

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.
