Mt. Angel Meat Co.

Mt. Angel Meat Co. operates at 11771 Bull Run Road in Mount Angel, Marion County, Oregon, under FSIS establishment numbers M9270, P9270 and V9270. The federal record lists meat processing, meat slaughter, and voluntary poultry processing and slaughter, with a grant of inspection date on file of December 11, 2020. FSIS classifies the plant as very small and places its slaughter volume in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, retail-exempt sales, and halal slaughter to FSIS.

The company's website describes a family-owned butcher shop that has operated in Mount Angel since 1908, with three generations of butchers and more than 117 years of trade. It states that flagship beef comes from Coleman Ranch in Molalla, Oregon, and that beef is sourced from Oregon farms. A sausage kitchen produces jerky, snack sticks, bacon and sausages, including the Mount Angel Brand Oktoberfest Sausage, which the site says began in 1966 and reflects the town's German heritage and its first Oktoberfest.

Alongside retail, the website advertises harvesting and butchery services, whole-carcass pickups, and cutting to customer specification, describing the resulting cuts as USDA-inspected and suitable for resale or home use. Online orders are taken through a web store for pickup in Mount Angel. Specific hours, custom booking lead times, and fee schedules are not stated in the material on file.

The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, meaning it will process animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it also slaughters cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under federal inspection, which supports meat intended for sale. Halal slaughter is reported to FSIS. The website says the shop provides harvesting and butchery services, handles whole-carcass pickups, and cuts to customer specification, and that cutting instructions for beef, pork, lamb or goat should be submitted within two days of the animal's arrival to avoid delays. FSIS places the plant in the lowest slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap rates are not stated in the sources on file. Contact the plant at (503) 845-6112 to confirm availability.

Mt. Angel Meat Co. 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 butcher shop in Mount Angel selling beef, pork, chicken, bacon, cured meat, sausage, jerky and snack sticks, meat bundles, and butchery supplies. An online store lists 135 products across those categories, with individual items and bundles such as a BBQ Bundle at $78.00 and a 30 pound case of Oktoberfest smoked sausage at $199.00. Orders are placed through the cart and picked up in Mount Angel, with the site stating orders are typically ready in seven business days or less and that customers receive an email when the order is ready. Frozen meat variety packs are prepared in-house. Shipping, delivery, and sales of halves or quarters are not mentioned in the sources on file.

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.
