American Butchers, LLC

American Butchers, LLC operates at 809 O Street in Beaver City, Nebraska, in Furnas County. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M20172, P20172, and V20172, with a grant of inspection on file dated November 3, 2021. FSIS lists it as a Very Small establishment with activities covering meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter, poultry processing, and voluntary meat slaughter and processing.

The plant reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under federal inspection. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary listings describe it as a USDA-inspected processor that hand crafts meat raised by rural farming and ranching families, and a Facebook page exists under the name American Butchers LLC. Beyond the federal record and those brief listings, details on booking, pricing, cut and wrap options, and hours are not yet on file.

The establishment 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 slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and poultry slaughter is among its listed FSIS activities. Reported volume is under 1,000 head per year, which indicates a small-scale operation. Scheduling practices, lead times, minimums, kill day availability, and cut and wrap fees are not stated in any source on file, so farmers should call (308) 268-2110 to confirm current terms.

American Butchers, 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, which generally allows direct sales to household customers, and secondary listings describe it as a USDA-inspected processor working with meat raised by area farming and ranching families. No source on file confirms a retail counter, specific bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Households should contact the plant directly to confirm 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.
