Marks Meat Inc.

Marks Meat Inc. operates at 10290 S. Mulino Road in Canby, Clackamas County, Oregon, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M9265 and P9265. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a grant of inspection dated July 27, 2021. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small.

Under federal inspection, the plant reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the smallest reported tier of under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the resulting packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no operator-published description was available. Business listing sites show the same Canby address, but details on cut and wrap options, scheduling, pricing, retail hours, and product selection are not yet on file beyond the federal record. Buyers and producers should contact the plant directly at (503) 266-2048 to confirm current practices and availability.

The federal record lists Marks Meat Inc. as a very small establishment with both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter of customer-owned animals, with those packages marked Not for Sale. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The reported slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the under 1,000 head per year tier. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, cut and wrap options, and drop-off arrangements are not stated in any source on file, so producers should call (503) 266-2048 to confirm scheduling and terms as listed.

Marks Meat 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 reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which indicates some direct sales activity, but no source on file describes a retail counter, product list, halves and quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Households interested in buying should contact the plant directly to learn 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.
