DRR Processing LLC

DRR Processing LLC operates under USDA FSIS establishment number P2372 at 5437 Ganske Rd. in Burton, Washington County, Texas. The federal record lists poultry slaughter and poultry processing activities, a very small size class, and a grant of inspection date of July 14, 2025. Slaughter volume falls in FSIS category 3.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported.

The company describes itself as a USDA-inspected poultry processing facility serving small farms, ranches, and agricultural families across Central and East Texas. It states it was created in response to a regional processing gap, with the aim of reducing long transport times for producers. The facility is located on Deeply Rooted Ranch and operates in partnership with the ranch. Matt Milliron is listed as CEO and Matt Owen as Plant Operations Manager. The plant uses air chilling rather than ice water immersion, which it says avoids water retention and extends shelf life, and which is why pickup is normally scheduled the business day after slaughter.

Services listed include whole bird processing, standard cut up and boneless options, ground chicken, party wings, vacuum packaging, and USDA labeling carrying the producer's farm name and logo. Published pricing effective January 1, 2026 ranges from $105.00 per batch for 1 to 15 birds down to $4.50 per bird at 150 or more birds. Overnight lodging at The Bunkhouse @ Deeply Rooted Ranch is offered for customers traveling long distances. No retail storefront or direct-to-household sales are described in the material on file.

The plant is set up for producers bringing their own birds. Birds must be dropped at the processing dock between 6:15 and 7:00 AM on the scheduled day, with arrival by 6:15 AM if birds need to be transferred into plant crates. Late arrivals past 7:30 AM incur a $100 per hour fee, separate from any inspector overtime charges. Feed must be removed by noon the day before processing, with water left available; a poor feed withdrawal fee of $0.35 per bird applies to the full batch if 25 percent or more of birds arrive with full crops. Published 2026 pricing is $105.00 per batch for 1 to 15 birds, $6.25 per bird for 16 to 49, $5.25 per bird for 50 to 149, and $4.50 per bird for 150 or more, including slaughter, whole bird vacuum packing, and USDA labeling with the farm name and logo. Add-ons of $1.00 per bird apply to broilers over 8 lbs, stew and spent hens, and roosters. Batches under 350 birds may be subject to schedule adjustment if the day's total volume does not warrant a full crew. Cancellation with fewer than 10 days' notice is $150 per date, rescheduling with fewer than 7 days' notice is $75, and short batches without 72 hours' notice draw fees of $75 or $125 depending on the shortfall. Pickup is normally the following business day, ready by 4:00 PM unless noted, and customers must bring clean ice chests or a refrigerated vehicle. The site states processing appointments are requested through its processing request page.

DRR Processing LLC operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

The material on file describes DRR Processing as a service processor for farms and ranches, not a retail meat counter. No storefront hours, retail sales, bundles, delivery, or shipping to households are stated in the sources. Households interested in poultry processed here would need to buy from the farms whose names and logos appear on the labels.

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.
