Lake Geneva Country Meats, Inc operates at 5907 State Road 50 East in Lake Geneva, Walworth County, Wisconsin, under establishment numbers M5648, P5648 and V5648. The federal record lists meat processing, meat slaughter, poultry processing and voluntary meat slaughter, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classes the plant as small, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 26, 2021, and a slaughter volume category of under 1,000 head per year. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages marked Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales.

The company website describes a family-owned and operated business serving southeastern Wisconsin since 1965, built on custom processing animals that customers purchased from local farmers. The site states the business still processes beef, pork, lamb, goats and buffalo to customer specifications, and adds seasonal deer processing and sausage making for hunters, plus whole pigs for pig roasts. Alongside processing, the site describes a full retail market selling Leahy's Angus beef, house-made sausages, Boar's Head lunch meats, Shullsburg cheese, deli salads, heat and serve items, and a selection of wine, beer and liquor.

The website lists store hours of Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, and Sunday 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, with the processing office closing at 5 pm weekdays and closed Sundays. Online ordering for in-store or curbside pickup is offered, with payment at pickup. Facts here come from the federal record and the establishment's own website as listed; buyers should confirm current availability directly.

The website states that farmers looking to have an animal processed for their customers can bring animals in, and that the shop also sources house animals from local farms. Custom processing covers beef, pork, lamb, goats and buffalo, with beef offered as whole, half or quarter and hogs as whole or half. Posted basic beef processing pricing is $1.30 per pound dressed weight for a quarter, $1.25 per pound dressed weight for a half, and $1.25 per pound dressed weight for a whole, with the site noting additional charges may apply for extra services and directing customers to an inquiry form for a complete price list. The processing line is reached at 262-248-3339, Option 4, with front office hours listed as 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday and 9 am to 3 pm Saturday. The federal record shows both USDA-inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter, so packages from custom work would be marked Not for Sale. Booking lead times, deposits and scheduling windows are not stated in the sources.

Lake Geneva Country Meats, Inc 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 site describes a full-service retail market with fresh beef, pork, sausage, deli items, cheese, and wine, beer and liquor, plus weekly specials and recipes. Households can order online and pick up curbside or in store, paying at pickup, and can search current pricing on the site, with the note that not all items are listed and that final pricing is set at the counter. For freezer buying, the site offers whole, half and quarter beef and whole or half hogs custom cut, and says staff box and freeze the meat and load it into the customer's car at pickup. Home delivery and shipping are not mentioned 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.
