Meadville Locker LLC

Meadville Locker LLC operates at 412 Madison St. in Chillicothe, Livingston County, Missouri, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M2975, P2975 and V2975. The federal record lists meat processing and meat slaughter activities and a grant of inspection dated December 1, 2020. FSIS classes the plant as very small, with a slaughter volume category of 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year.

Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. The listed phone number is (660) 646-0951.

No website is on file. A Facebook page under the Meadville Locker name has referenced items such as wings and pulled pork, but details beyond the federal record, including hours, ownership, pricing, cut and wrap terms, and booking practice, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection, plus custom-exempt slaughter for animals the customer owns, with those packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS places the plant in its smallest slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day scheduling, hanging fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should call (660) 646-0951 to confirm what the plant is scheduling.

Meadville Locker 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 indicates some sales direct to consumers, and a Facebook page under the Meadville Locker name has mentioned wings and pulled pork available. Whether the plant maintains a staffed retail counter, sells halves or quarters, offers bundles, or ships is not stated in the sources on file.

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.
