New Hira Farm LLC operates at 19922 Bauer Hockley Rd in Tomball, Harris County, Texas, under establishment numbers M47805, P47805 and V47805. FSIS lists the plant for Meat Processing, Meat Slaughter, Poultry Processing, Voluntary Processing - Meat and Voluntary Slaughter - Meat, with a grant of inspection date on file of December 17, 2024. It is classed as Very Small, and reports slaughter of cattle, sheep and lamb, and bison, in slaughter volume category 2.0. The plant reports halal slaughter, custom-exempt slaughter of animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and retail-exempt sales.

The establishment website presents the business as New Hira Farms, a premium meat market described as founded by Syed and Jeanne Raza in 2009 with the aim of providing hand zabiha halal meat to the Muslim community within Texas halal slaughter guidelines. The site states the facility has supplied halal meat to Houston area Muslim grocery stores and restaurants, sits on 12 acres with a garden in front of the facility, and invites families to select an animal and wait for their meat. Note a discrepancy in inspection status: the plant appears in the USDA FSIS directory with federal establishment numbers and a grant of inspection, while its website describes itself as a state inspected slaughter facility.

Contact numbers also differ between sources. FSIS lists (832) 202-7131, while a Yelp listing for the address shows (281) 650-8623. Details beyond what is stated in these sources, including booking procedures, custom cut and wrap fees and scheduling, are not on file.

The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer and returns packages marked Not for Sale. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, sheep and lamb, and bison, and the plant is in FSIS slaughter volume category 2.0. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file. Farmers should contact the plant directly at the number listed with FSIS, (832) 202-7131, to confirm what work is being taken.

New Hira Farm 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 describes an on-site premium meat market with posted per-pound prices for beef cuts such as rib eye at 9.99 per pound and New York strip at 12.99 per pound, goat and lamb at 11.99 per pound, goat boneless boti and goat keema at 10.99 per pound, whole goat (large) at 7.99 per pound, boneless chicken breast at 5.75 per pound, femur bone at 2.99, and a lamb listed at 449.99. The site states customers may select their animal on site and wait for their meat, and that delivery to the home is made within 24 hours, free within a 10 mile radius. Halves and quarters, bundles, and online ordering or shipping are not described in the sources.

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.
