Matador Butcher Shop, LLC

Matador Butcher Shop, LLC, doing business as County Butcher Shop, operates at 524 East Water Street in Palmyra, Missouri, in Marion County. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M2995A, P7022, and V2995, with a grant of inspection dated November 5, 2021. FSIS lists its activities as meat processing, meat slaughter, voluntary processing of meat, and voluntary slaughter of meat, and classifies the establishment as very small.

Under federal inspection the plant reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the resulting packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no menu of cuts, pricing, scheduling terms, hours, ownership history, or founding details has been verified. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file. The listed phone number is (573) 769-2257.

The plant reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals can be handled either for resale under inspection or as custom work returned to the owner in packages marked Not for Sale. Species reported to FSIS are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment is classed as very small with a slaughter volume category of 1, under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file, and availability should be confirmed directly at (573) 769-2257.

Matador Butcher Shop, 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 establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally indicates some direct sales to consumers, but no source on file describes a retail counter, hours, bundles, halves or quarters, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Buyers should contact the shop directly to learn 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.
