CUSTOM EXEMPT VS INSPECTED BEEF

We receive a lot of questions on custom versus inspected meat. We are here to answer that for you! Custom exempt beef is NOT to be sold by individual packs of steak, roasts, hamburger, etc. “Meat that was slaughtered and processed under custom exempt may only be consumed by the owner of the live animal, his/her family, or non-paying guests.” (Michigan State University)

Inspected meat CAN be sold by individual packs when donning and official legend from the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS). If meat is going to family members by the whole, half, or quarter the carcass does NOT need to be inspected.

The processes of the harvest floor do not change between custom-exempt and inspected carcasses. Our staff takes food safety very seriously and everything is done the same whether an inspector is on site or not.

All beef is charged based on the hanging weight. Please call in for pricing on processing.

Circle M Meats proudly sells meat from our own farm. We sell meat in individual packages and by the whole, half, and quarter. Pricing is always subject to change.
