Fort Worth Meat Packers LLC

Fort Worth Meat Packers LLC operates at 3801 N Grove St. in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M47104B, P47104B, and V47104B. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter, poultry processing, voluntary processing of meat, and export certification. Its grant of inspection is dated May 11, 2022, and FSIS classifies the plant as small.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are hogs, sheep and lamb, and goats. A Texas Center for Local Food listing describes the plant as processing beef, hog, sheep, and goat, which goes beyond the species slaughtered under federal inspection in the FSIS record. The plant reports both halal and kosher slaughter, along with custom-exempt slaughter of customer-owned animals packaged Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 3.0.

A search snippet attributed to the company describes it as a family owned business dedicated to agriculture for six generations. The website on file is a Facebook page, and no site text was available for this record. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, and product lists, are not yet on file.

The plant reports slaughtering hogs, sheep and lamb, and goats under federal inspection, and also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale. Halal and kosher slaughter are both reported to FSIS, and the plant holds export certification activity. A Texas Center for Local Food listing also mentions beef processing. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, hanging weight fees, and cut and wrap terms are not stated in the available sources, so producers should contact the plant at (817) 607-8682 to confirm what work is being taken, as listed.

Fort Worth Meat Packers 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 means some product may be sold directly to consumers, but no retail counter hours, bundles, half or quarter animal programs, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are described in the available sources. Buyers interested in halal or kosher product should note that the plant reports both halal and kosher slaughter to FSIS. Availability is not stated and should be confirmed directly.

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.
