KC Farms Meats, LLC

KC Farms Meats, LLC operates at 13963 Franklin Street in Ferrum, Virginia, in Franklin County, under USDA FSIS establishment number M1502. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of February 13, 2024. FSIS classes the establishment as Very Small and places its slaughter volume in the under 1,000 head per year category.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales. Search results indicate the business is connected to a farm operation, with the farm's website stating that the same people who raise the beef also process it at an on-farm facility, and describing 100% Angus and Red Angus beef. Secondary listings describe beef, pork, and lamb.

No website is on file for the establishment itself, and no website text was available for this record. Hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap terms, and other operating details beyond the federal record are not yet on file. Buyers and producers should contact the plant at (540) 365-2697 to confirm current activity, as listed.

The federal record lists KC Farms Meats for slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and for meat processing, with custom-exempt slaughter reported alongside federally inspected work. That means a producer could in principle bring animals for either inspected slaughter, if the meat is to be sold, or custom slaughter for the animal's owner with Not for Sale packaging. The plant is a Very Small establishment with reported slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking windows, scheduling lead times, kill fees, hanging weight charges, cut and wrap options, and minimums are not stated in any source on file. Contact the plant directly at (540) 365-2697 to confirm what it is taking, as listed.

KC Farms Meats, LLC 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.

Secondary listings tie the establishment to KC Farms in Ferrum, which describes selling local beef and lamb raised on the farm and processed at the on-farm facility, and describes 100% Angus and Red Angus beef. One listing states the operation specializes in beef, pork, and lamb. The plant also reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS. Retail counter hours, bundle or half and quarter offerings, delivery, shipping, and online ordering are not stated in the sources 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.
