Buckaroo Meat Company

Buckaroo Meat Company operates at 4727 Hwy 70 in Camden, Benton County, Tennessee, under USDA establishment number M47696. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection on file dated June 27, 2022. FSIS classifies it as a very small establishment, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. A secondary directory listing describes the company as specializing in the harvesting of cattle, hogs, sheep, and goats; goats do not appear in the species list on the federal record. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this establishment, and details beyond the federal record are not yet documented here. Hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, and product lists are not stated in the available sources. Farmers and households should contact the plant directly at (731) 676-0214 to confirm what work it takes and whether any retail sales occur.

Buckaroo Meat Company 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 can indicate sales directly to consumers, and a secondary directory listing describes it as providing meat products locally and as a butcher shop. No retail counter hours, product list, bundle or half and quarter offerings, online ordering, or delivery information appears in the available sources. Households should call (731) 676-0214 to ask what is available.
