Main Processing LLC

Main Processing LLC, doing business as Detroit Processing Plant, operates at 101 S Main Street in Detroit, Texas, in Red River County. The establishment holds USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M46794, P46794, and V46794, with a grant of inspection dated November 15, 2021. FSIS lists its activities as meat processing, meat slaughter, and poultry processing, and classes it as a very small establishment.

Under federal inspection the plant reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 1, meaning fewer than 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

The website on file is a Facebook page, and no website text was available at the time this record was compiled. A secondary directory listing describes the business as providing livestock and poultry processing services in Detroit, Texas, serving farms in the broader area. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, cut and wrap options, booking practices, and ownership, are not yet on file.

The plant is listed with FSIS as slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under federal inspection, and it also reports custom-exempt slaughter, where the animal remains the customer's property and the finished packages are marked Not for Sale. That combination means a producer could in principle have animals harvested either for resale under inspection or for personal freezer use, as listed. The FSIS slaughter volume category of 1, under 1,000 head per year, indicates a very small operation, so scheduling lead times may matter. Booking procedures, drop-off requirements, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap options are not stated in the sources on file. Farmers should contact the plant at (706) 575-5596 to confirm species accepted and current availability.

Main Processing 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 establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which allows a plant to sell meat directly to household customers at retail. Whether a retail counter is staffed, what cuts or bundles are offered, and whether halves and quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are available are not stated in the sources on file. Households interested in buying should call (706) 575-5596 or check the establishment's Facebook page for current offerings.

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.
