LX Bar Meat Co LLC

LX Bar Meat Co LLC operates at 6 TW Rd in Buffalo, Wyoming, in Johnson County, under USDA establishment number M3934. The federal record lists both meat slaughter and meat processing activities, a small size class, and species slaughtered under inspection of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. FSIS places the plant in slaughter volume category 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year, and the establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are returned in packages marked Not for Sale, as well as retail-exempt sales. The grant of inspection date on file is May 26, 2026.

The company website describes the plant as a small, independent, rancher-owned facility serving farmers and ranchers in northeast Wyoming and beyond. The about page identifies Brewton Boley as owner of both LX Bar Meat Company and the Quarter Circle 7 Quarter Circle Ranch near Recluse, Wyoming, described as the historic Greenough Ranch. The plant processes livestock from local producers as well as beef from the owner's own herd, sold under the QC7 Ranch Reserve label. The site publishes a prohibited product list covering mRNA vaccines, named antibiotics, hormones and steroids, ionophores, beta-agonists, and certain feedstuffs, and its shop page states no antibiotics, no hormones or steroids, and no mRNA vaccines.

The website posts two fee schedules, one for custom-exempt slaughter and processing and one for state-inspected slaughter and processing, covering beef, hog, and other species tiers. Store hours are listed as Monday through Friday, 8am to 4:30pm. Listing is a registry record and is not a statement that the plant is currently accepting work.

The plant reports cattle, hog, and sheep and lamb slaughter to FSIS and also offers custom-exempt slaughter for animals the customer owns. Producers bringing in livestock are asked to complete a cut sheet to specify how the meat is processed. Posted custom-exempt fees include kill, clean, and cool only at $375.00 for beef, a $70.00 slaughter and receiving fee, a $45.00 dump fee, cut, package, and freeze at $1.35 per pound hot carcass weight, cubed steaks at a $20.00 flat rate, quarter packaging at $25.00 per quarter, and a flat rate of $800 hanging weight for beef under 600 pounds. Extended hang time is $4 per day for a half beef and $8 per day for a whole beef. A hog tier lists kill, clean, and cool only at $200.00, a $50.00 slaughter and receiving fee, a $45.00 dump fee, cut, package, and freeze at $1.35 per pound hot carcass weight, cured and smoked ham and bacon at $2.10 per pound fresh weight, and seasoned ground sausage at $1.25 per pound. Additional tiers list a $100.00 slaughter and receiving fee with a $55.00 dump fee and $1.45 per pound cut, package, and freeze, and a tier at $150.00 kill, clean, and cool only with a $200.00 slaughter, processing, and dump fee. Prices do not include sales tax. All meat is vacuum packaged. Maximum freezer time is five days after product is finished, after which storage is $5.00 per box per day unless prior arrangements are made. Beef hides are returned at the current market hide price charged to the invoice, sheep pelts are returned at no charge, and returned hides and pelts are not guaranteed free of holes or tears. Booking lead times and minimums are not stated.

LX Bar Meat Co 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 website invites customers to order online, visit, or call, and references a retail selection of packaged meats through its shop page, including beef boxes, ground beef, pork chops, ham, and bacon under the QC7 Ranch Reserve label from the owner's Quarter Circle 7 Ranch near Recluse, Wyoming. The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS. Meat is vacuum packaged. Halves and quarters sold directly to households, delivery, and shipping are not described 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.
