Double L Ranch Inc.

Double L Ranch Inc. operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M33842 at 7181 Dunnsville Road in Altamont, Albany County, New York. The federal record lists both meat slaughter and meat processing activities, with a grant of inspection date on file of June 14, 2013. FSIS classifies the plant as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer and returns the meat in packages marked Not for Sale. Secondary listings describe the operation as a small family owned USDA slaughterhouse that provides a butchering service for local farmers so they can sell their meat, and a New York farmstand butcher shop states that it sends its animals to Double L Ranch, about 12 miles west of Albany.

No website is on file for this establishment, and hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap details, and retail offerings are not documented in the sources available.
