Missouri Meat Processing LLC

Missouri Meat Processing LLC operates at 26832 CR 161 in Rutledge, Scotland County, Missouri, under USDA FSIS establishment number M4141. The federal record lists both meat slaughter and meat processing activities, with hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as very small and places its slaughter volume in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and returned in packages marked Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales.

The plant's website describes it as a local processor of beef, pork, and deer, and states that all cuts are vacuum sealed. The site includes a form for customers to submit cutting instructions. Note that the federal record reports hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection while the website advertises beef and deer work as well, which is consistent with custom processing and deer handling outside the inspected slaughter grant. Customer comments posted on the website mention deer, pork, and custom beef butchering, and one mentions meat sticks.

A third-party processor directory lists the establishment as processing beef and hog and offering online harvest slot booking through Farmshare. Details beyond the federal record and the website text above, including pricing, minimums, and retail counter offerings, are not on file.

The establishment is federally inspected for meat slaughter and meat processing under establishment number M4141, and reports hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning animals owned by the customer can be processed and returned in packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS lists the plant as very small with a slaughter volume category of under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. The website invites customers to place cutting instructions online, and a third-party processor directory indicates harvest slots can be booked online through Farmshare. Fees, deposits, hanging weight terms, and scheduling lead times are not stated in the sources on file. Contact the plant at (660) 883-5322 to confirm availability and species accepted, as listed.

Missouri Meat Processing 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, and the website refers to meat going from its counter to the customer's kitchen. The site emphasizes vacuum sealed packaging for every cut and lists beef, pork, and deer as the meats it handles. Customer comments on the site mention meat sticks. The sources do not state whether halves and quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online retail ordering are 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.
