Cass Meats is a small, family owned and operated meat processing plant located in Virginia Illinois. Cass Meats slaughters and processes beef, hogs, sheep and goats. We also process deer starting with Archery season the 1st day of October and continuing through the firearm seasons and ending with the late winter antlerless only season in mid January.

Operating as usual
We will have our Summer Sausage available again this morning.
Limit 1 roll per customer....no holds.
An approximately 3 pound roll is $18.00
We've ordered more casings and will make a huge batch the week of the Super Bowl and you can grab all you want at that time but this was a small batch and we want everyone to have a chance to get some. Thank You.
We need to announce we will no longer be doing pickups for processed beef on Tuesdays going forward. You can pick up processed beef Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 8:00-5:00 and Saturdays 8:00-Noon. Due to skyrocketing Energy costs we need to make some changes and this will help us to better utilize our workforce while holding down labor costs more efficiently. We will still be here for retail meat sales on Tuesdays though. Thank you for understanding.

( It's almost time for our Annual Coyote Hunt to help raise funds for the Food Pantry and get rid of some of these nasty varmints that seem to be everywhere.
I'm asking anyone interested if you can donate towards the Prize Money this year to let me know via Messenger so we can get the pot bigger and get more interest from more hunters.Participation has really been dropping lately.
Here's how this will work. I'm going to throw $250.00 in towards the top prize of Biggest Coyote and I'd really like to see the donations come in to get that to $500.00.
Any cash donations above that will then go to other prize money for Smallest Coyote and Most Coyotes and such.
All the Hunter Registration/Entry Fees go directly to the Food Pantry.
If you are wanting to help with donations please DM me here at Cass Meats.
I need to hear from everyone really soon because I want to post the Hunt information on here by Monday at the latest.
Thank you for your support and I hope to hear from some of you very soon.
Any donations of $20.00 and above will be listed on this page at the beginning of the tournament unless you wish to remain anonymous.

Important announcement:
We will be on Vacation from Saturday December 24 -Sunday January 1 and will be back to normal hours starting at 8:00 AM January 2, 2023.
We thank you all for another year of business and appreciate your friendship and support.
Enjoy the Holiday Season with family and friends. Merry Christmas to one and all !
Just sold the last of these nifty Euro Mount hangers. I'm all caught up on the European Mounts at this time. It has been another very good and busy Season here doing these for all you fine hunter folks. I really appreciate your business. I will continue doing them throughout the rest of the Hunting Season.
As you know Cass Meats is Not processing deer this year but I wanted to share a couple thoughts with you hunters who still might follow this page.
If you plan on having a processor do your deer this weekend, please take it in for drop off immediately after you leave the field or woods. With the crazy low temps the deer is most likely going to freeze solid overnight and trust me, your processor will appreciate it so much if you don't wait and take it in frozen.
Second thing: We will be open 8:00-5:00 today, 8:00 - Noon Saturday and I will be here from Noon until 1:00 Sunday to take your deer heads for European Mounts. Of course we will take them next week too during regular business hours.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy a safe and successful hunt this weekend.
We are selling these nice metal European Mount Hangers now.
$8.00 each.
First 4 European Mounts of the Season.

We are doing European Mounts again this year at Cass Meats
$75.00 same as always. Cleaned up and ready to go in days instead of weeks. Cash payment preferred. 217-452-3072
Due to an increase in custom Beef Slaughter and Processing since 2020 we will NOT be processing Deer again this season.
If things return to a more normal state next year we will consider deer processing again but as things are now it isn't likely.
We appreciate all the past support and business from you all and hope you have a safe and successful Hunting Season.
We will be doing European Mounts again this year so feel free to bring in your heads and we will be happy to do those for you as always. Thanks again.
We will be closed on Monday September 5 in Observance of Labor Day. Enjoy your weekend and celebrate responsibly.

Don't believe the lies that Cattle are dangerous to the Earth and the Environment. Just the opposite is true.
Our planet has had large grazing herbivores for thousands and thousands of years.
Prior to the mid-1800s, there were an estimated 30-60 million bison, over 10 million elk, 30 to 40 million Whitetail deer, 10 to 13 million Mule deer, and 35 to 100 million pronghorn and caribou roaming North America.
If we go back earlier we see the presence of huge megafauna including the woolly mammoth.
They were roughly about the size of modern African elephants. A male woolly mammoth’s shoulder height was 9 to 11 feet tall and weighed around 6 tons. Its cousin the Steppe mammoth (M. trogontherii) was perhaps the largest one in the family — growing up to 13 to 15 feet tall.
Cattle play a part in the natural cycle of carbon.
Without ruminants to keep forages grazed down and to deposit natural fertilizer, many pastures would become stagnant and overtaken by a few species of plants. Well-managed cattle can create healthier soils and more diverse plant life. This leads to better habitat for wildlife and reduces reliance on synthetic inputs like fertilizer.
When cattle are managed properly they can actually help to ADD carbon back into depleted soils!
Grasslands need to be grazed to stimulate new plant growth. As grazing animals urinate and defecate onto the grass, they move nutrients around which increases soil moisture and feeds underground microorganisms, thereby increasing biodiversity and creating more fertile land for plants and animals alike.
Moving cattle off of a freshly grazed pasture allows the plants time to regrow and maintain their healthy root systems so they can feed carbon to underground microbial and fungal networks in exchange for nutrients the plants need.
Carefully managed, intensive grazing also stimulates diverse plant growth and helps ensure that one species of plant cannot overtake a pasture and shade out other forages.
For more on this, check out and the eye-opening documentary Sacred Cow.
The bottom line is that cows do not present an environmental danger.
What do you think?
Proud to announce we are stocking a few of the delicious products from Kathy's Kitchen here in town. Stop by and see what we have available and if sales go well we may stock more items in the future.
We will be CLOSED Monday May 30 in observance of Memorial Day.
Missouri Ram looking good.

Hello everyone;
Just want to give a friendly reminder to all our processing customers here, especially newer ones.
When the livestock producer brings in your animal for us to process it is your responsibility to contact us to discuss your cutting instructions and how you want your meat cut and packaged. Producers reading this need to inform your people that they need to call or message us about their instructions. We are here Monday through Friday 8:00-5:00 and Saturday 8:00-Noon, but we do take a break for lunch at 12:00-12:30 each weekday.
If you are a repeat customer we have your information on file and you do not need to contact us unless you want to make specific changes. We appreciate all of our customers, new and old, and thank you for putting your trust in us for your meat processing needs. Our phone number is 217-452-3072 and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks again and enjoy your Spring and upcoming Summer.
Wrapped up this year's Coyote Hunt this afternoon. 14 more coyotes checked in bringing the total to 31 Coyotes for both weekends.
One team brought in 27 total and won the prize money for Largest and Smallest. We ended up raising $325.00 for the Food Pantry and want to thank each and every hunter who registered and participated. We will see you all again next year.
