D&D Meats Inc.

D&D Meats Inc. operates at 729 Peterman Bend Rd in Celina, Clay County, Tennessee, under USDA establishment number M47791. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection dated July 25, 2024. 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 federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this record. Search listings associated with the business describe beef, pork, and lamb processing services and reference cuts from cattle with Akaushi genetics raised, harvested, and processed in Celina, along with pre-orders announced on social media. Details beyond the federal record and those brief listings, including hours, ownership, booking practices, and pricing, are not yet on file.

The plant is listed with FSIS for both slaughter and processing of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and it also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which the animal remains the customer's property and the finished packages are marked Not for Sale. That combination means a producer could in principle have animals harvested under inspection for resale, or handled as custom work for personal use, as listed. Reported slaughter volume is under 1,000 head per year and FSIS classes the plant as very small, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging weight terms are not stated in the sources on file. Contact the plant at (931) 261-9967 to confirm what it is scheduling.

D&D Meats 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, and business listings describe beef, pork, and lamb, with cuts said to come from cattle with Akaushi genetics raised, harvested, and processed in Celina. A social media listing references pre-orders being opened. The sources do not state retail counter hours, whether halves or quarters are sold, whether bundles are offered, or whether the business ships or delivers. Those details are not yet 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.
