Victoria Livestock

Victoria Livestock, doing business as Victoria Livestock & Poultry, operates at 41 Victoria Street in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M54249 and P54249. The federal record lists meat slaughter, meat processing and poultry processing activities, with a grant of inspection dated June 25, 2020. FSIS classifies the plant as very small, and the reported species slaughtered under inspection is sheep and lamb. The slaughter volume category on file is 2.0, above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year.

The establishment reports both custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales. Its website describes the business as a local meat market that specializes in halal products and states that every order is custom processed. The site lists goat, sheep, lamb and cow for sale and says the business is the only licensed processor for burnt goat and sheep in the tristate area. Note that the website names goat and cow among its offerings, while the species reported to FSIS as slaughtered under inspection is sheep and lamb.

Ordering and questions are handled through a contact form on the website and by phone at (973) 856-6965. An online store page exists on the site, but no product listings or prices were captured in the fetched text. Details beyond the federal record and these brief website statements are not yet on file.

The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals owned by a customer can be processed with packages marked Not for Sale, alongside its federally inspected slaughter of sheep and lamb. The federal record lists sheep and lamb as the species slaughtered under inspection and places the plant in the very small size class with a slaughter volume category of 2.0. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges and hanging weight pricing are not stated in the sources. Farmers should call (973) 856-6965 or use the website contact form to confirm what species and dates the plant handles, as listed.

Victoria Livestock 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 website describes Victoria Livestock as a local meat market and invites customers to stop in to see its selection of goat, sheep, lamb and cow, with a stated specialization in halal products and custom processing of every order. Search snippets attached to the site's online store page list opening hours of Thursday through Saturday 8:00 to 4:30 and Sunday 8:00 to 11:30, closed Monday through Wednesday, with a note that hours may vary. An online store page exists on the site, but no products, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery or shipping options were captured in the fetched text. Orders and questions can be sent through the website contact form.

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.
