New Angus, LLC

New Angus, LLC, doing business as DemKota Ranch Beef, operates a USDA-inspected beef plant at 13 - 135th St., SW in Aberdeen, Brown County, South Dakota. The federal record lists establishment numbers M45471, P45471 and V45471, with FSIS activities of meat slaughter and meat processing, cattle as the only species slaughtered under inspection, and a grant of inspection dated April 3, 2018. FSIS classifies the plant in its large size category and places it in slaughter volume category 4.0, well above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

The company website describes a facility dedicated solely to beef production, with cattle sourced from family farms and ranches in a cattle-raising area the site says spans three states. It states that its facilities were designed under the guidance of Dr. Temple Grandin and describes processing and packaging using air-tight shrink wrapping with chilled water dissipation to remove heat before shipment. The site names branded programs including Heritage, Elite, Elite Legacy, Angus and 605 Burger Co., and lists a leadership team including a chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operations officer, and vice presidents of procurement and producer relations, sales, and human resources.

The website does not state hours, retail counter operations, custom slaughter terms, booking procedures, cut and wrap fees, or direct-to-consumer shipping. A general contact form and a media email address, info@DemKotaRB.com, are the contact points given. Details beyond the federal record and these website statements are not yet on file.

The plant reports cattle slaughter and meat processing to FSIS and is classed as a large establishment in slaughter volume category 4.0, with no custom-exempt activity reported. That means it is not listed as a custom-exempt plant for animals returned to the owner. The website describes buying cattle from family farms and ranches in the region and lists a vice president of procurement and producer relations, so producers interested in selling cattle would contact the company directly at (605) 262-2333 or through the website contact form. Booking procedures, minimums, price grids, and any specific program requirements are not stated in the sources.

New Angus, LLC operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

The website includes Catalog, Find and Shop navigation items and names branded beef programs, but the fetched text does not state whether beef is sold directly to households, whether halves or quarters or bundles are available, or whether shipping or online ordering is offered. No retail counter or hours are described. Households looking for DemKota beef would need to use the site's Find or Shop pages or contact the company.

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.
