Texas County Meat Processing, LLC

Texas County Meat Processing, LLC operates at 90 Industrial Park Rd in Cabool, Missouri, in Texas County. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M45209, P45209 and V45209, with a grant of inspection on file dated August 3, 2021. FSIS lists it under meat processing, meat slaughter, poultry processing, poultry slaughter, and voluntary processing and slaughter for meat and rabbit. It is classified by FSIS as a very small establishment.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and bison. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 1, meaning fewer than 1,000 head per year.

No website is on file for this establishment. A secondary directory listing states that Texas County Meat Processing is associated with B's Meats in Fordland, Missouri, and describes the operation as a custom and USDA meat processing facility. Another search result associates the business name with a Cabool social media page referencing quarter beef, but that listing is mixed with a different business name and is not confirmed. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file. Buyers and producers should contact the plant at (417) 962-2112 to confirm services.

The establishment reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals can be processed for the owner's own use with Not for Sale labeling, or slaughtered under inspection for animals intended for resale. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported, are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and bison, with voluntary inspection also listed for rabbit. Slaughter volume is in the lowest FSIS category, under 1,000 head per year, and the plant is classed as very small, so scheduling capacity is likely limited. Booking windows, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging weight pricing are not stated in any source on file. Producers should call (417) 962-2112 to confirm availability, as listed.

Texas County Meat Processing, 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.

The plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally allows direct sales of meat to household customers. One secondary listing associated with the business name references quarter beef for freezer stocking, but that snippet also carries a different business name and is not confirmed for this establishment. Retail hours, product lists, bundle sizes, delivery, shipping, and online ordering are not stated in the sources on file.

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.
