Mount Pleasant Beef Packing Co, LLC

Mount Pleasant Beef Packing Co, LLC operates at 1232 Dove Avenue in Mount Pleasant, Texas, in Titus County, under USDA FSIS establishment number M3924. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment as small and places its slaughter volume in the lowest reported category, under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is March 26, 2026. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales.

The business website, mountpleasantbeef.com, presents the operation primarily as a ranch and direct-to-consumer beef brand rather than a general-purpose custom shop. It describes a single Northeast Texas herd raised on 20,000 acres of open pasture, 100 percent grass-fed and grass-finished, with no grain, no feedlots, no added hormones, and no antibiotics, and states the cattle are naturally non-GMO because no feed is used. The process page states that every animal is processed in-house at the ranch's own abattoir and butchery, and that cuts are hand-trimmed, vacuum sealed, flash frozen, and shipped overnight on dry ice.

Note the difference in emphasis between the two records: the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter and retail-exempt sales to FSIS, while the website describes only its own herd, its own harvest, and online sales of its own beef. The website does not describe taking in outside animals for custom slaughter or cut and wrap, and no booking process, kill-day schedule, or fee schedule is stated. Buyers and producers with questions beyond the federal record should contact the establishment directly.

The federal record shows Mount Pleasant Beef Packing Co, LLC reports custom-exempt slaughter of customer-owned animals, with resulting packages marked Not for Sale, and reports slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection. FSIS places annual slaughter volume in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year, and classifies the plant as small. The website, however, describes only harvest of the ranch's own herd at its on-ranch abattoir and butchery, and does not state booking procedures, lead times, minimums, hanging weight pricing, cut and wrap fees, or whether outside livestock are accepted. Producers should contact the establishment at (903) 572-8722 to confirm availability, as listed.

Mount Pleasant Beef Packing Co, 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 website sells individual beef cuts, ground beef, offal, and a few pork items through an online shop, with prices listed per item and per pound for some cuts, for example ribeye at $16.49 per pound. Orders ship frozen and overnight on dry ice from Mount Pleasant, and the site states complimentary shipping on orders over $200. Cuts are described as hand-trimmed, vacuum sealed, and flash frozen, sourced 100 percent from the ranch's Texas herd, raised without added hormones or antibiotics. The site invites bulk and restaurant supply inquiries by email at hello@mountpleasantbeef.com and offers ranch visits by appointment, Tuesday through Saturday. Halves and quarters are not mentioned, and no storefront retail counter hours are stated.

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.
