Washington Beef, LLC

Washington Beef, LLC, which does business as AB Foods, LLC, operates a federally inspected plant at 201 Elmwood Road in Toppenish, Yakima County, Washington. The establishment holds meat and poultry establishment numbers M235 and P235 and is listed with FSIS for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing. Cattle are the only species reported as slaughtered under inspection. The grant of inspection date on file is December 30, 2016.

FSIS classifies the plant in its largest size class and places it in slaughter volume category 4.0, the highest of the reported ranges, which is consistent with a high volume commercial operation rather than a local locker. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, meaning the federal record does not show custom processing for individual owners of animals.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary search results describe Washington Beef as Agri Beef's processing plant in Toppenish, receiving cattle after they are finished at company feedyards, and reference work with Washington cattle feeders in the Yakima Valley. A 2026 news item states the company confirmed the Toppenish facility was not closing. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, retail sales, pricing, and booking practices, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection and reports no custom-exempt activity, so there is no indication in the record that the plant processes animals on a custom basis for individual farmers. Secondary sources describe the plant as receiving cattle finished at Agri Beef feedyards and working with Washington cattle feeders. Booking procedures, minimums, fees, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. Producers should contact the plant at (509) 865-2121 to ask how cattle are sourced and whether outside cattle are accepted.

Washington Beef, LLC operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.
