Panhandle State University

Panhandle State University operates a USDA-inspected meat laboratory in Goodwell, Oklahoma, in Texas County, listed with FSIS under establishment number M7273. The federal record shows activities of meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of October 5, 2021. FSIS classifies the establishment as Very Small, and its slaughter volume category is 1, meaning fewer than 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with resulting packages marked Not for Sale. The listed address is the Lab at Harrison and Church Street, PO Box 460, Goodwell, OK 73939, and the listed phone number is (580) 349-1518.

The website on file is the Oklahoma Panhandle State University Facebook page, which covers the university broadly rather than the meat lab. No website text describing the lab's services, pricing, scheduling, or retail sales was available. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file.

The federal record lists both slaughter and processing at this establishment, covering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, plus custom-exempt slaughter of animals the customer already owns. Volume is small, under 1,000 head per year in the FSIS category, and the plant is classed as Very Small. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, hanging fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should call (580) 349-1518 to confirm what work is available, as listed.

Panhandle State University 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.
