Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc

Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc operates a USDA-inspected establishment at 1200 Industrial Parkway in Madison, Nebraska, in Madison County. The plant carries establishment number M244M and is listed with FSIS for both meat slaughter and meat processing. Hogs are the species reported as slaughtered under inspection. The grant of inspection date on file is April 6, 2021.

FSIS classifies the establishment in its largest size class and places it in slaughter volume category 4.0, the highest volume tier in the directory scale where category 1 represents fewer than 1,000 head per year. No custom-exempt activity is reported, which means the federal record does not show processing of animals owned by individual customers for their own use. The record also lists a number of alternate and doing-business-as names tied to the company, including IBP, Inc, Madison Processed Meats, NatureRaised Farms, Thomas E. Wilson Foods, Tasco, TSD Sales & Distribution, and Tyson Foods, Inc.

No website is on file for this location, and secondary directory listings add little beyond describing Tyson Fresh Meats as a division of Tyson Foods. Details beyond the federal record, including products, buying programs, hours, and contacts for livestock sellers, are not yet on file with this registry.

The federal record lists hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection and places the plant in the highest FSIS volume category, which is consistent with a high throughput packing operation rather than a small local kill floor. No custom-exempt activity is reported, so the record gives no indication that the plant returns processed meat to individual animal owners. Terms for livestock procurement, scheduling, or delivery are not stated in any source on file. Producers would need to contact the plant directly at the listed phone number, (402) 454-4241, to learn how or whether hogs are purchased.

Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

No retail counter, bundle sales, halves or quarters, online ordering, shipping, or direct-to-household program is described in any source on file. The establishment is listed with FSIS as a large slaughter and processing plant, and secondary directories identify it only as a division of Tyson Foods. Households seeking to buy directly should confirm with the plant, since nothing in the record indicates direct sales to the public.

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.
