Timberline Meats, LLC

Timberline Meats, LLC operates at 4342 John Green Rd in Dundee, Yates County, New York, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M18894 and P18894. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, and classifies it as a very small establishment. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The plant's reported slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the smallest FSIS tier of under 1,000 head per year.

In addition to federally inspected work, the establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. The listed phone number is (607) 243-5581.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary directory listings describe it as a meat processor and local meat shop in the Finger Lakes area carrying beef and pork, but those descriptions are not confirmed by the plant itself. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, and product lists, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists this plant for meat slaughter and processing of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection, and it also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which the animal remains the customer's property and the packages are marked Not for Sale. That combination means a producer could in principle route animals either to inspected harvest for resale or to custom work for personal use, though the plant has not published its own terms. Booking windows, scheduling minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should call (607) 243-5581 to confirm species accepted, lead times, and whether work is being scheduled.

Timberline Meats, LLC 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 to FSIS, which is the category that covers direct sales of meat to household customers. Third-party directory listings describe it as a meat shop offering locally sourced beef and pork, but no counter hours, bundle offerings, halves or quarters programs, online ordering, or delivery details are documented in the sources on file. Households should call ahead to confirm 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.
