[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1312683, member: 4362"] That's how it is in Georgia. As long as you are not packaging the meat for individual retail cut sales you are fine. Still must be inspected by state. The problem is you are only being paid for the processing and that is not where the real money is. Money is in retail cuts. Not everyone wants a half or a quarter and once you fire up the coolers and the freezers you'll quickly see you need volume to make ends meat. I looked into building a USDA facility and $325,000 was what it was going to take for a small facility. Wholesome Meat Act of 1967 did a number on the small butchers. In my little town we used to have 3 butcher shops. Now we have none. [/QUOTE]
