Rocking Rd Cattle Company

Rocking Rd Cattle Company operates a very small USDA-inspected meat plant at 180 FM 833 E in Fairfield, Texas, in Freestone County. Under establishment numbers M4059 and V4059, the plant is listed with FSIS for meat slaughter and meat processing, along with voluntary slaughter and voluntary processing of meat. The species reported to FSIS for slaughter under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb.

The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS places its slaughter volume in the lowest reported category, under 1,000 head per year. Secondary listings refer to the business as Rocking RD Cattle Company Processing and indicate beef processing along with online harvest slot booking through a third-party service. A local news item reports the plant held a grand opening and that it is owned by Randy Bugher and his wife, Donna.

No website is on file for this establishment, and details beyond the federal record and these secondary listings are not yet on file. Hours, pricing, cut and wrap fees, booking lead times, and retail arrangements are not stated in the available sources. Buyers and producers should contact the plant directly at (903) 915-5003 to confirm what work it is taking.

The plant is listed with FSIS for slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and it also reports custom-exempt slaughter of animals the customer already owns, with packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS classes the operation as very small, with slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is likely limited. A third-party processor directory indicates harvest slots can be booked online through Farmshare and mentions digital cut sheets, but the sources do not state minimums, drop-off procedures, hanging fees, or cut and wrap charges. Producers should call (903) 915-5003 to confirm species accepted and available dates.

Rocking Rd Cattle Company 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.
