Teets Meat Packing, LLC

Teets Meat Packing, LLC operates at 210 Pauls Loop in Elkins, Randolph County, West Virginia, under federal establishment numbers M34062 and P34062. FSIS lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of January 29, 2015. It is classed by FSIS as very small.

Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and goats. 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 FSIS slaughter volume category is 3.0, above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year.

A Randolph County tourism listing describes the business as a federal USDA meat slaughter and processing plant handling custom butchering needs and carrying an assortment of products, though the specific items are not detailed in the text on file. A secondary business directory gives a founding year of 1984 for Teets Meat Packers at this phone number, which predates the 2015 grant of inspection in the federal record. Beyond these points, details such as hours, pricing, booking practices, and retail offerings are not yet on file.

The plant reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals owned by a farmer can be processed with packages marked Not for Sale, as listed. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and goats, and the establishment also holds poultry processing activity. A county tourism listing describes it as handling custom butchering needs. Booking lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, cut and wrap fees, and hanging or disposal policies are not stated in the sources on file, so a producer should call (304) 636-9748 to confirm.

Teets Meat Packing, 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.

Teets Meat Packing reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and a Randolph County tourism listing states the business carries an assortment of products in addition to custom butchering. The specific cuts, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering options are not described 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.
