Central Oregon Butcher Boys

Central Oregon Butcher Boys, doing business as Oregon Canard Farms, operates at 2525 NW Ritches Lane in Prineville, Crook County, Oregon. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M27493, P27493, and V27493, with a grant of inspection on file dated April 28, 2022. FSIS lists it under meat processing, meat slaughter, poultry processing, poultry slaughter, and voluntary meat processing and slaughter activities.

The establishment is classified by FSIS as Very Small. It reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection, with a slaughter volume category of 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The plant 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.

No establishment website text is available for this record. The address listed on file, prineville.org, is a community site rather than a plant-operated page, and secondary directory listings describe the location only as a slaughterhouse offering livestock and poultry processing. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, product lists, and ownership, are not yet on file.

The plant reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals brought in may be handled either for resale under inspection or as customer-owned work returned in packages marked Not for Sale. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and poultry slaughter and processing are also listed among its FSIS activities. Volume is small, under 1,000 head per year, which suggests limited capacity, though booking windows, minimums, drop-off procedures, and cut and wrap fees are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should contact the plant at (541) 447-0334 to confirm current scheduling.

Central Oregon Butcher Boys 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 generally allows direct sales to household customers, but no source on file describes a retail counter, half or quarter beef sales, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Households interested in buying should call (541) 447-0334 to ask what is available.

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.
