East Texas Slaughter & Packing

East Texas Slaughter & Packing operates at 7663 CR 314 South in Laneville, Texas, in Rusk County, under USDA FSIS establishment number M2493. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 18, 2025. FSIS classifies the establishment in its very small size class, and its reported slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year.

The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer and returns the meat in packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. Species handled are not reported to FSIS, so the specific animals accepted are not documented in the federal record. The listed telephone number is (903) 658-9111.

No website is on file for this establishment, and secondary listings confirm only the business registration in Laneville, Texas and the same address and phone number. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking lead times, cut and wrap options, and retail offerings, are not yet on file.

East Texas Slaughter & Packing 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 allows limited direct sales of meat to household customers. No website, product list, hours, bundle offerings, or delivery or shipping information is on file, so buyers would need to contact the plant directly at (903) 658-9111 to learn 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.
