Muleshoe Meat Processing

Muleshoe Meat Processing operates at 401 S Main Street in Muleshoe, Bailey County, Texas, under FSIS establishment numbers M2503, P2503 and V2503. The federal record lists meat processing, meat slaughter, poultry processing, and voluntary meat processing and slaughter, with a grant of inspection date on file of November 18, 2024. FSIS classifies the plant as small and places its slaughter volume in the under 1,000 head per year category. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, goats and bison. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and packaged marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales.

The establishment's website describes it as a one-stop butcher and retail shop and states that it is under new ownership. Listed processing species on the site are beef, pork, lamb, goat, fish, chicken and wild game, with jerky, sausages, smoked meats and curing offered on request. The site also advertises specialty and custom cuts and states that no order is too small. Wild game availability is listed as call for availability.

Contact information on file is (806) 272-4703, with an emergency number of 575-714-2915 and email kevinlujan80@gmail.com listed on the website.

The plant reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, goats and bison, and FSIS places annual slaughter volume in the under 1,000 head per year category, so scheduling capacity is limited by size. Custom-exempt work returns meat from the customer's own animal packaged and marked Not for Sale. The website advertises custom meat processing, specialty and custom cuts, wild game processing, and smoking, curing, jerky and sausage options, and states that no order is too small. Booking procedures, lead times, deposits, kill fees and cut-and-wrap rates are not stated in the sources on file; producers would need to call (806) 272-4703 to confirm availability.

Muleshoe Meat Processing 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 describes a retail butcher shop with beef, pork, lamb, goat, fish, chicken and wild game, and lists specific cuts including ground beef and patties, several steak cuts, brisket, roasts, bacon, ham, pork belly and various lamb, goat, chicken and fish cuts. Orders are offered as retail, whole, half or quarter for beef, pork, lamb and goat. Jerky, sausages, smoked meats and curing are available on request, and wild game is listed as call for availability. The plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS. Prices, bundle contents, online ordering, delivery and shipping are not stated in the sources on file.

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.
