TTT Meats +

TTT Meats +, operating under Tackman Land & Cattle LLC, is a very small meat plant at 714 Main Street in Sunray, Moore County, Texas. It holds FSIS establishment number M3497 for meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection dated September 16, 2025. The plant reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection, and its FSIS slaughter volume category is the lowest tier, under 1,000 head per year. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, along with retail-exempt sales.

The company website describes custom processing of beef and pork from live animal to finished product ready for the freezer, and a Facebook listing for the business adds lamb. Slaughter is stated to happen on Tuesdays and Thursdays by appointment, booked by phone or through an online scheduling form. The website says processing plant hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed Sundays, with some additional pick-up times available during grocery store hours.

The business is described on the website as run by Alex and Grace Tackman. The triple T name comes from the Tackman family cattle brand at Deep Creek Ranch in the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico, reinterpreted in Texas for the couple's three children. Grace Tackman grew up in Sunray. The website states the plant was opened to shorten wait times for local meat processing and to help address food deserts, and mentions hopes to release a jerky line under the JE brand and to partner with a local family on a restaurant that would also carry basic groceries. Those last two items are described as future plans, not current offerings.

Slaughter days are listed as Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the website asks customers to call or use the online booking calendar to set an appointment for an animal. Processing and pricing are stated as $1.30 per pound for the first 1,000 pounds and $1.60 per pound for any pound after 1,000, described as all inclusive. The website offers a standard list of beef cuts and says customers complete a simple form to direct how the meat is cut. The plant reports both USDA-inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals can be handled under inspection or returned as Not for Sale custom product. FSIS lists slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb; the website text names beef and pork, while the company's Facebook listing also names lamb. Minimums, deposits, kill fees, hanging times, and current lead times are not stated in the sources on file.

TTT Meats + 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 plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and the website states that some pick-up times are available during grocery store hours, but no retail counter inventory, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering of finished meat is described in the sources. The website's stated focus is custom processing of animals the customer already owns, returned packaged and ready for the freezer. A contact form allows visitors to request a call, a pricing sheet, or a plant tour. Households looking to buy meat directly should call (806) 948-4300 to ask what is available.

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.
