Casselton Cold Storage Inc.

Casselton Cold Storage Inc. operates at 52 Langer Avenue North in Casselton, North Dakota, in Cass County, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M7611, P7611 and V7611. The federal record lists meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry processing, and voluntary meat slaughter and processing activities, with a grant of inspection date on file of December 23, 2016. FSIS classifies the plant as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. Cattle are the species reported as slaughtered under inspection.

The plant reports both custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales. The establishment website lists steaks and roasts, sausages and brats, deli meats and cheeses, and wild game. A Facebook listing associated with the business has advertised boneless pork loins and seasoned pork loins by the pound, indicating retail counter sales, though pricing and availability change and are not confirmed elsewhere.

The website on file carries very little text beyond product headings, so details such as hours, ownership, founding year, booking practice, cut and wrap fees, and delivery are not yet on file. Farmers and households should contact the plant directly at (701) 347-4781 to confirm current services and scheduling.

Casselton Cold Storage Inc. 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 website lists steaks and roasts, sausages and brats, and deli meats and cheeses, and the plant reports retail-exempt sales, which indicates a retail counter. A Facebook listing tied to the business has posted per-pound prices on boneless pork loins and seasoned pork loins, suggesting walk-in retail purchases. Halves and quarters, bundle boxes, online ordering, delivery, and shipping are not mentioned in any source on file.
