JRD Meats, LLC

JRD Meats, LLC operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M9573 at 151 Slaughterhouse Road in Claysburg, Blair County, Pennsylvania. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small and places its slaughter volume in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is June 24, 2026.

The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer and returns the meat in packages marked Not for Sale. That combination of federal inspection and custom-exempt work is common at plants that serve both farmers processing for their own use and producers who need inspected product they can sell by the cut.

The website address associated with this listing, otrucking.com, resolves to a truck dispatch service based in Dover, Delaware, and contains no information about the meat plant. A carrier profile for JRD Meats LLC appears on that same domain because the business is also registered with FMCSA as a motor carrier under USDOT 4462689. A Facebook page under the JRD Meats name references quality cuts available at the plant, but no menu, pricing, hours, or booking details are on file. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file for this registry entry.

The federal record lists JRD Meats for slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection, plus custom-exempt slaughter of animals the customer already owns. Inspected slaughter allows meat to be sold by the cut, while custom-exempt work returns the meat to the owner in packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS places the plant in the lowest slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is limited relative to larger plants. Booking procedures, lead times, kill day schedules, minimums, cut and wrap options, and fees are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should call (814) 977-2609 to confirm what the plant is handling, as listed.

JRD Meats, LLC 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.

A Facebook page under the JRD Meats name mentions a variety of quality cuts available with additional items available, which suggests some direct sales, but no retail hours, price list, bundle or half and quarter offerings, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are described in any source on file. Households should call (814) 977-2609 to ask what is available for direct purchase.

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.
