Diller Locker Company

Diller Locker Company is a very small USDA-inspected establishment in Diller, Nebraska, in Jefferson County, operating at 409 and 311 Commercial St. It holds establishment numbers M45772A, P45772A and V45772A, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 13, 2021. FSIS lists its activities as meat processing, meat slaughter, and voluntary processing for both meat and poultry.

The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer and returns packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. Species detail is not reported to FSIS, so the specific animals accepted are not documented in the federal record. Secondary listings refer to a south beef facility on Commercial St, suggest the business first opened in 2015 and opened a new slaughter facility in November 2015, and describe custom meat processing along with co-packing and private labeling. One listing associates the business with a retail store operating under the Heartland Provisions name.

There is no website on file for this establishment and no confirmed website text was available. Details beyond the federal record and these secondary listings, including hours, pricing, booking lead times, cut and wrap options, and product lists, are not yet on file.

FSIS lists Diller Locker Company as a very small establishment doing both slaughter and processing, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, so animals brought in by their owner can be processed and returned in packages marked Not for Sale. Species accepted are not reported to FSIS, and the federal record does not state scheduling practices, booking windows, kill days, minimums, hanging fees, or cut and wrap charges. A farmer should call (402) 793-5840 to confirm species, availability, and terms, since none of that is on file here and the registry makes no claim that the plant is currently taking work.

Diller Locker Company 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, and a secondary listing references a retail store associated with the business under the Heartland Provisions name. The federal record does not list retail hours, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering, and no website text was available to confirm any of those. Households should contact the plant directly by phone to ask what is available for purchase.

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.
