I believe this guy has an operation from calving to packaging. I think he uses South Poll cattle. I think his herd numbers in the 1,000s. He is in Pinetops, NC. He sells on Amazon

30 years ago, I had an idea to own my own meat business—not just any meat, but premium meats. Because premium protein is the kind I wanted my own family to eat. It's healthier, tastier, and means the animals, the environment and the farmers themselves are better off. That's when I came across a tiny meat company called Wayne Provisions. With just enough for a down payment, I bought them. I made a lot of changes to Wayne, the biggest being the move to premium meats. The business grew steadily as top chefs and restaurants heard about our reputation for offering the best of the best prime beef, pork, poultry, veal, lamb, wild game and seafood—all delivered fresh, never frozen.
We changed the name to Premier Meat about 13 years ago to reflect the fact that no one offers better quality meats than we do.

1,000hd doesn't sound that small.
There is a family in Bureau county, IL that raises and processes Piedmontese cattle. I think they have around 200. All the meat goes to Chicago.

You'd have to define commercial scale.
We had someone about 10 years ago called Big B Ranch buy up several farms in the area and opened a premium meat store in Park City Tn. Looked like they were attempting to be a vertically integrated operation. Had all brand new equipment. Didn't last two years.

Zbar ranch started out as a stall at the farmers markets. Now have a custom butcher shop in Keller, TX. Seem to be busy, and sell out of certain cuts regularly. They've established a pretty loyal local customer base in a fairly affluent suburb--hoping it's a model that is successful and repeatable for others.

Family run in Como, MS. Farm raised beef, pork and lamp.
Retail store on the farm, selling via internet, farmers markets and to restaurants.
All the meats we've tried have been very good.

Small by my definition is ANYONE working outside the meat cartel (Tyson, Cargill, JBS, National Beef, etc.)
Every person, every family, every company that makes a profit outside the meat cartel are winners and deserve to be known and celebrated.

There's this little Angus ranch up the road from me called 44 Farms. They've been in business for over 100 years and it is still family owned. A few years ago set up a cooperator buy back program so they could ensure they had to supply chain in place to sell branded beef to WalMart. They are WalMart's biggest beef supplier. They will buy calves from any registered cooperator that uses 44 Farms bulls and the cooperator must follow certain protocols like weaning, vaccinations, etc. I'm not sure who processes their beef. It seems to be the only part I do not understand.

Some of those come to FPL Foods in Augusta GA for processing.
I believe Snake River Farms and R&R ranch are fully integrated.

I have seen annual revenue estimates of around $7M. I would love to see more operation like them compete with JBS, etc.
