Prem Meats LLC

Prem Meats LLC operates at E5028 US Hwy 14 in Spring Green, Sauk County, Wisconsin, under establishment numbers M3467M and P3467M. The federal record lists meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a small size class and a grant of inspection date on file of July 27, 2026. The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. Species detail is not reported to FSIS.

The company website describes two locations, Spring Green and Prairie du Sac, each with a fresh butcher's case and a retail meat market that also carries wine, beer, and spirits. Selections are described as including locally grown beef, pork, and chicken, with special orders available and online ordering shipped from either location. The site also lists catering, wild game processing, and Natural Harvest, described as the company's on-site butchering service, along with what the history page calls the only mobile slaughtering business in Wisconsin.

The website's home page describes the operation as a state-approved meat processing facility, while a notice on its history page states that beginning July 21, 2025, both processing plants and the Natural Harvest truck would transition to federal inspection, making products eligible for interstate commerce. The federal record now lists the Spring Green location as an inspected establishment. Buyers comparing the two descriptions should confirm current inspection status and which location handles a given job directly with the plant.

The federal record lists meat slaughter and poultry processing at this establishment and reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which the animal remains the customer's property and the finished packages are marked Not for Sale. The website describes Natural Harvest as an on-site butchering service and describes the development of a mobile slaughtering business, with the history page stating the Natural Harvest truck was included in the transition to federal inspection. Species handled, livestock booking windows, lead times, hanging weight pricing, and cut and wrap fees for beef, hogs, or lambs are not stated in the sources on file, so a producer should call (608) 588-2164 to confirm scheduling and rates. For wild game, the site states that as of April 1, 2025, all wild game is processed at the Spring Green location, that venison is accepted year round, that only clean and well kept meat is allowed, that trim must arrive in clear unscented bags rather than garbage bags, and that there is no after hours drop off. Listed wild game processing is $180.00 with caping $45.00 extra, including cutting, wrapping, and freezing, with the hide kept for skinning, and jerky at $15.00 per finished pound. Prices are stated as subject to change without notice.

Prem 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.

Both the Spring Green and Prairie du Sac stores are described as retail meat markets with fresh butcher's cases, carrying locally grown beef, pork, and chicken along with sausages, smoked items, lunchmeats, pre-cooked and heat and eat items, salads, dips, desserts, and a selection of wine, beer, and spirits. Special orders are available. The website offers online ordering with categories including picnic boxes, lunch bundles, beef, pork, chicken, seafood, brats, beef sticks, jerky, sausage, bologna and hot dogs, cheese, gift cards, and gift boxes, and states that shipping is available daily and that orders should specify a location. Orders shipped between May 1 and September 30 may incur a $30 dry ice fee. Halves and quarters of beef or pork are not mentioned 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.
