Sky Halal Meats

Sky Halal Meats is a very small USDA-inspected establishment at 4342 Highway E in New Haven, Missouri, in Gasconade County. It operates under establishment number M48226 with a grant of inspection dated May 9, 2019, and reports both meat slaughter and meat processing activities to FSIS.

The plant reports slaughtering cattle, sheep and lamb, and goats under federal inspection, and reports halal slaughter. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the smallest reported tier of 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 reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this establishment. Third party halal directories list the business, and one halal certifying body, HMS, lists a certification status of Revoked for Sky Halal Meats; that listing is separate from the federal grant of inspection, which remains on the FSIS record. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, and product lists, are not yet on file.

The establishment reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals owned by a farmer can be processed with the returned packages marked Not for Sale. Species reported to FSIS are cattle, sheep and lamb, and goats. Halal slaughter is reported. Scheduling practices, lead times, kill day availability, minimums, cut and wrap options, hanging or aging arrangements, and fees are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should contact the plant at (314) 552-1198 to confirm current species accepted and whether work is being booked.

Sky Halal Meats 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.

Sky Halal Meats reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which indicates some direct sales activity, and it is listed in halal restaurant and market directories for New Haven, Missouri. No product list, price information, bundle or half and quarter offerings, delivery, shipping, or online ordering details are stated in the sources on file. Buyers seeking halal assurance should note that the HMS certifier listing shows a status of Revoked for this establishment and should verify current halal certification directly with the plant.

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.
