About Wyoming Legacy Meats, LLC

Wyoming Legacy Meats, LLC, doing business as Cody Meat Country Store, operates at 74 County Road 2AB in Cody, Park County, Wyoming. The plant holds establishment numbers M46023, P46023, and V46023, with a grant of inspection date on file of October 26, 2021. FSIS lists it as very small and records meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry processing, and voluntary meat slaughter and processing activities. Species slaughtered under inspection are reported as cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and bison, with annual slaughter volume in the under 1,000 head category.

The company website describes services that include slaughter, meat processing, and custom manufacturing of products for human and pet markets. It states that its beef and bison are American raised and appear in butcher shops, restaurants, and health food stores, and are sold by local ranchers to their own customers. The site references grass-fed and grass-finished, no antibiotic, and no hormone supply chains, and says the founders have over 40 years in the health food manufacturing industry. Beyond these statements, the site is largely an online store shell and does not detail booking procedures, fees, or cut sheet options.

The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales. The contact page invites inquiries about custom processing. Specific terms for either arrangement are not stated in the sources on file.

For farmers and ranchers

The plant reports both federally inspected and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, and species reported include cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and bison. Custom-exempt work returns meat to the animal's owner in packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS places annual slaughter volume under 1,000 head, so scheduling capacity is limited relative to larger plants. The website invites ranchers and others interested in custom processing to make contact, and notes that local ranchers sell product processed here to their own customers. Booking windows, deposits, minimums, per head fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap options are not stated in the sources on file. Contact the plant directly at (307) 587-5827 or info@wyominglegacymeats.com to confirm availability.

Wyoming Legacy 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.

For households

The establishment does business as Cody Meat Country Store and reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS. Its website runs an online store platform and describes beef and bison sold through butcher shops, restaurants, and health food stores. The site as fetched does not list specific retail products, prices, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, or shipping terms, so household buyers should contact the plant to confirm what is available at the counter and whether online ordering is active.

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.
