DC Meat Inc

DC Meat Inc, doing business as Meat Addiction, is a very small USDA-inspected establishment at 8957 S 12000 W in Duchesne, Utah, in Duchesne County. It holds establishment numbers M47491, P47491 and V47491, with a grant of inspection date on file of January 10, 2022. FSIS lists its activities as meat processing, meat slaughter, poultry processing, voluntary processing of meat and voluntary slaughter of meat. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The plant falls in FSIS slaughter volume category 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year.

The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. Its website describes the operation as a family-owned meat processor serving the Duchesne community since 1999, which predates the 2022 federal grant of inspection date on file. The site names jerky, smoked meats and various cuts of meat as products, and offers private label and custom label services for businesses such as restaurants and grocery stores.

The website lists Duchesne County, Wasatch County, Utah County, Summit County and Carbon County in Utah as areas served. A secondary directory listing describes the plant as providing livestock and poultry processing in the Uinta Basin region near Vernal. Hours, booking procedures, pricing, cut and wrap details, and any retail counter arrangements are not stated in the sources on file. Contact is by phone at (435) 646-3320 or through the website contact form, as listed.

The establishment reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals brought in for the owner's own use can be processed and returned in packages marked Not for Sale. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and the plant is also listed for poultry processing. Slaughter volume is in the FSIS category of under 1,000 head per year, and the size class is very small, so scheduling capacity is limited. Booking lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging or carcass weight terms are not stated in the sources on file. Farmers should call (435) 646-3320 to confirm availability and terms.

DC Meat 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 plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and its website invites customers to order meat by phone or through the contact form. Named products include beef jerky, smoked meats and various cuts of meat, and custom label jerky and meats are offered to individual customers as well as businesses. The website references orders reaching the customer's doorstep but does not state shipping rates, delivery areas, online checkout, or whether halves, quarters or bundle boxes are sold. There is no statement in the sources about a walk-in retail counter or its hours.

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.
