Derks Meats LLC

Derks Meats LLC operates at 33802 115th Ave. in Boyd, Chippewa County, Wisconsin, under USDA establishment number M2353. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with cattle and hogs reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as very small, and its reported slaughter volume category is under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is June 30, 2025.

In addition to federally inspected work, the plant 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 associated brand Derks Farms Beef states that beef from Derks Farms is processed in the operation's own USDA inspected facility, and an online storefront is on file at derksfarmsbeef.square.site.

The storefront page returned no readable text when fetched, so product listings, pricing, ordering terms, and scheduling details are not yet on file. A Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors directory listing shows the same Boyd street address with a different phone number than the FSIS record, 715-644-0997 versus the (715) 703-0399 on file with FSIS. A chamber directory lists Derks Farms Beef at a nearby address, 33640 115th Ave. Buyers and farmers should confirm current details directly with the establishment.

The federal record lists Derks Meats LLC for both slaughter and processing of cattle and hogs, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, so animals owned by a farmer can be processed with packages marked Not for Sale. The plant is a very small establishment with a reported slaughter volume of under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, kill day schedules, minimums, hanging weight or cut and wrap fees, and disposal or hide policies are not stated in the sources on file. Farmers should call to confirm species accepted and scheduling, and should note that the FSIS record lists (715) 703-0399 while a state association directory lists 715-644-0997.

Derks 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.

The plant reports retail-exempt sales, and the affiliated Derks Farms Beef brand describes prime quality beef sold direct from the farm and processed in the operation's own USDA inspected facility. An online storefront is on file at derksfarmsbeef.square.site, but the page returned no readable text when fetched, so available cuts, bundles, halves and quarters, pricing, pickup, delivery, and shipping terms are not on file. A social media page for Derks Farms Beef references a beef snack item suited to snack trays and cheese boards, but specific product listings are not confirmed in the sources.

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.
