Burly Brothers Country Butchery

Burly Brothers Country Butchery operates at 4154 East Main Street in Attica, Wyoming County, New York, under USDA establishment numbers M47912 and V47912. The federal record lists meat slaughter and meat processing plus voluntary slaughter and voluntary processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of December 6, 2024. Cattle are the species reported slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classes the plant as very small and places its slaughter volume in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales.

The shop is run by the Piechocki family, which the website traces through more than 60 years in Western New York agriculture, including a dairy farm started by Leonard Piechocki, agricultural construction, and cattle hauling. The butchery operates under Burly Brothers Land & Cattle Co. LLC. Ryan is described as an owner and full-time operator, running the facility with his wife Saige, while his brother Bobby leads the beef farm and their father Bob is described as the family patriarch and owner of a construction company.

The website states that all beef and pork are processed under full USDA inspection, that livestock may undergo testing, and that beef over 30 months is boned out to prevent contamination. It describes collections for beef, pork, chicken, and seafood, house-made canned goods, and locations in Attica, Batavia, and West Seneca. The federal record lists only the Attica address and reports cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection; the site's pork, chicken, and seafood offerings are not described as slaughtered on site.

The website states that the shop provides USDA-inspected beef processing for farmers and livestock owners across Western New York, and asks customers to bring in beef livestock for USDA-inspected processing. Listed elements include humane handling, custom cutting instructions, wrapping and labeling, vacuum sealing, and what the site calls prompt scheduling with pick-up or delivery options. A downloadable beef cut sheet is offered for quarter, half, and whole cow orders, and the site invites requests for a quote. The federal record confirms cattle slaughter under inspection and also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning animals owned by the customer can be processed with packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS lists the plant in the lowest slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year. Booking lead times, minimums, kill fees, and per-pound cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file.

Burly Brothers Country Butchery 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 shop sells at retail, and the federal record notes retail-exempt sales. The website describes collections for beef, pork, chicken, and seafood, plus house-made canned goods such as pickles, jams, sauces, and pickled eggs, and beef sticks smoked in house. Posted prices include beef sticks at $15.79 per pound and pork items ranging from $4.29 per pound for country style ribs to $9.99 per pound for pork bratwurst. Households interested in buying in bulk can download the beef cut sheet for a quarter, half, or whole cow. The site directs visitors to stores in Attica, Batavia, or West Seneca. Online ordering and shipping are not described in the sources; the processing page mentions pick-up or delivery options in connection with processing orders.

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.
