FBS Hudson

FBS Hudson is a very small USDA-inspected establishment at 9049 Hwy 789 in Hudson, Fremont County, Wyoming, operating under establishment numbers M47172 and V47172. The plant reports meat slaughter and meat processing to FSIS, along with voluntary slaughter and voluntary processing of meat. Its grant of inspection on file is dated July 23, 2021. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and bison.

The establishment 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. FSIS places its slaughter volume in category 1.0, under 1,000 head per year, and classifies the plant as Very Small. The listed phone number is (307) 332-3655.

The website recorded for this establishment is a Facebook page for Hudson Baptist Church, which appears to be a mismatched link rather than the plant's own page. A separate Facebook page for Frank's Butcher Shop Hudson in Hudson, Wyoming, appears in search results and references processing during hunting season, but that connection is not confirmed by the federal record. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, cut and wrap options, and booking practices, are not yet on file.

As listed with FSIS, FBS Hudson slaughters cattle, hogs, and bison under federal inspection and also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which the animal remains the property of the customer and the returned packages are marked Not for Sale. FSIS classes the plant as Very Small with slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is limited relative to larger plants. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging weight practices are not stated in the available sources. Producers should call (307) 332-3655 to confirm current availability and terms.

FBS Hudson 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 of meat to household customers, but no retail counter hours, product list, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are described in the sources on file. Households should contact the plant directly at (307) 332-3655 to ask what is available for purchase.

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.
