Triad Halal Meats LLC

Triad Halal Meats LLC, doing business as Triad Meat Custom Processing, operates at 281 Sisk Mill Loop in Madison, Rockingham County, North Carolina. The plant holds establishment numbers M46085 and P46085 and is listed by USDA FSIS for meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter, and poultry processing. Its grant of inspection on file dates to October 16, 2019. FSIS classes the plant as Very Small, with a slaughter volume category of 2.0. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle and sheep and lamb. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are returned in packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales.

The company website describes the operation as a full-service USDA-certified slaughterhouse and processing facility working under halal practices, handling beef, lamb, goat, and deer. Note that the federal record lists cattle and sheep and lamb as the species slaughtered under inspection, while the website also advertises goat processing and venison processing for hunters. The site states that slaughter is performed according to halal guidelines and that the facility serves both commercial buyers, including restaurants, grocery stores, and caterers, and individual customers. Wholesale bulk pricing and delivery options are described as available on inquiry.

The federal record lists the phone number (336) 427-3521. The website lists (336) 949-9696 and the email triadhalalmeats@outlook.com, and notes that Spanish is spoken. Hours of operation are not stated in the material on file.

The website instructs customers to schedule an appointment and bring livestock or hunted game to the facility, where halal slaughter is performed and the carcass is butchered to the customer's specifications, then packaged, labeled, and held for pickup with a call from the office when ready. Online cut sheets are provided for beef, lamb/goat, and deer, and the beef form asks whether the animal is to be handled as Custom (Not For Sale) or Inspected, whether the customer is taking a half or a whole, and requests the animal's age, tag number or markings, and the date it is being brought in. All packaging is stated to be vacuum pack. Default cutting is steaks at 3/4 inch and portioned roasts unless otherwise specified, and any cut not marked goes into ground. The site states that carcasses are subject to testing by onsite inspectors, which may delay release of the meat, and that a specified risk material removal fee applies if the animal is over 30 months old. Meat must be picked up within 7 days or a storage fee of $20 per day applies. Deer are to be brought in skinned, quartered, and in a cooler. Booking lead times, kill day schedules, and per-head prices are not stated in the sources.

Triad Halal 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 website describes a retail store at the Madison facility offering halal beef, lamb, and goat cut to order rather than prepackaged, with butchers cutting to requested portion sizes and bone-in or boneless preferences. Beef selections listed include steaks, roasts, and ground beef. Bulk purchasing for large events is mentioned, and the beef cut sheet allows a customer to take a half or a whole animal. Delivery is mentioned only in connection with wholesale inquiries. No online store, shipping, retail hours, or prices are stated in the sources.

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.
