TTJ Packing Inc.

TTJ Packing Inc. operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M45392 at 2532 Peiper Rd. in Cottage Grove, Dane County, Wisconsin. The federal record lists both meat slaughter and meat processing activities, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 19, 2021. FSIS classifies the plant as small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. Both halal and kosher slaughter are reported in the federal record.

No usable business website is on file. The address recorded for the establishment resolves to a general business review directory rather than a company site, and secondary listings under the name TTJ Packing Co. categorize the business as meat processing or wholesale meat without further detail. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, product lists, and ownership, are not yet on file. Buyers and producers should contact the plant at (608) 839-8865 to confirm current practices.

The federal record lists cattle and sheep and lamb as the species slaughtered under inspection, and the establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter, so animals owned by a producer or a household can be processed with packages marked Not for Sale. Halal and kosher slaughter are both reported to FSIS. FSIS places the plant in its lowest slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year, which suggests limited throughput. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill and cut fees, hanging weight terms, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. Producers should call (608) 839-8865 to ask what is available, as listed.

TTJ Packing 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 establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which allows direct sales to household customers, but no source on file describes a retail counter, halves and quarters, bundles, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Secondary directory listings categorize the business as meat processing or wholesale meat. Households interested in buying should contact the plant directly to confirm what, if anything, is sold on site.

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.
