East Texas Beef Processors

East Texas Beef Processors operates at 1499 US 175 in Frankston, Anderson County, Texas, under FSIS establishment numbers M1407, P1407 and V1407. The federal record lists meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry processing, and voluntary meat slaughter and processing activities, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 18, 2025. FSIS classifies the plant as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and goats. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, as well as retail-exempt sales. Halal slaughter is reported in the federal record.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary listings describe custom beef processing and locally raised dry aged beef, and a processor directory entry describes custom beef, hog and lamb processing. Beyond these items and the federal record, details such as hours, ownership, pricing and booking procedures are not yet on file.

The federal record shows cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and goats slaughtered under inspection, plus custom-exempt slaughter for animals the customer owns, with packages marked Not for Sale. That combination means a producer can, as listed, have animals slaughtered either under inspection for resale or on a custom basis for personal use. FSIS classifies the plant as very small with a slaughter volume category of under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Halal slaughter is reported. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file, so producers should contact the plant at (903) 876-2882 to confirm scheduling and terms.

East Texas Beef Processors 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 indicates meat is sold directly to consumers. A secondary listing describes locally raised dry aged beef products at the Frankston location. There is no website on file, and no source states retail hours, bundle or half and quarter offerings, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Buyers should call (903) 876-2882 to confirm what is available.

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.
