Tooele Valley Meat

Tooele Valley Meat is a small USDA-inspected establishment at 985 East Main St. in Grantsville, Utah, in Tooele County. It operates under establishment numbers M20594 and P20594, with a federal grant of inspection dated August 12, 2021. FSIS lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing.

The species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The plant falls in the smallest FSIS slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year. It 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.

The website on file is a Facebook page, and no website text was available for this record. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, and ownership, are not yet on file.

FSIS lists Tooele Valley Meat for slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, both under federal inspection and on a custom-exempt basis where the animal remains the customer's property and the meat is packaged Not for Sale. The plant is in the smallest FSIS volume class, under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, hanging weight pricing, and cut and wrap fees are not stated in the sources on file. Farmers should contact the plant at (435) 884-3837 to confirm what work is being scheduled.

Tooele Valley Meat 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 indicates some direct sale of meat at the location, but no source on file describes a retail counter, product list, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, or online ordering. Household buyers should call (435) 884-3837 to confirm what is available.

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.
