Mayes County Processing

Mayes County Processing operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M2144 at 3116 E. Old HWY 20 in Pryor, Oklahoma, in Mayes County. The plant reports both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing activities to FSIS and is classified as a very small establishment. Its grant of inspection on file is dated April 4, 2024. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The FSIS slaughter volume category is 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year.

The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. The website lists both custom cut and USDA inspected processing rates for beef and pork, so an animal can be handled either way depending on the owner's plans for the meat. Order forms on the site cover beef, pork, sheep and goat cutting instructions, custom add ons, and deer processing.

The website advertises online ordering and delivery, and secondary business listings describe the plant as offering USDA inspected and custom processing along with ranch to table retail cuts. Butcher dates are booked through an online scheduling link. Details beyond what appears above, including capacity, aging practices, and further product lines, are not yet on file.

Producers hauling animals here can book a butcher date online through the site's scheduling link. The website states that if you bring an animal, the meat you take home is guaranteed to be yours, and it lists fees of a $100 kill fee for beef and for pork, plus $.85 per pound for custom cut or $.95 per pound for USDA inspected processing, with cost calculated from carcass weight. Vacuum sealed packages are listed at no additional cost. A custom processing order form should be filled out and submitted when the animal is brought in, and forms are also available in person at the front desk; cutting instruction sheets exist for beef, pork, and sheep or goat, along with a list of custom add ons and a deer processing form. FSIS records show cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb slaughtered under inspection, with a reported volume of under 1,000 head per year. Minimums, lead times, and hanging or aging terms are not stated in the sources.

Mayes County Processing 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 advertises online ordering and delivery, with a shop link for browsing available items, and secondary business listings describe ranch to table retail cuts. The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS. Prices for retail meat, bundle offerings, and whether halves or quarters are sold directly are not stated in the sources. Note that meat from custom-exempt processing is packaged Not for Sale and goes only to the animal's owner.

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.
