Union Slaughter House, Inc.

Union Slaughter House, Inc. operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M13189 at 1000 Plaza Street in Del Rio, Val Verde County, Texas. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with hogs reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, and the grant of inspection date on file is July 13, 2021.

The plant's reported slaughter volume category is 3.0 in the FSIS scale, meaning it handles more head per year than the smallest category, which covers plants under 1,000 head annually. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, so animals slaughtered here are handled under federal inspection rather than as custom work for the owner's own use. The establishment does report retail-exempt sales, which generally indicates some direct sale of meat to end customers.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no operator-published description was available. Secondary business listings place the business at 1000 Plaza Avenue in Del Rio and one listing states it was established in 1965, but that date is not part of the federal record. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, booking practices, cut and wrap options, pricing, and retail offerings, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists Union Slaughter House, Inc. for meat slaughter and meat processing, with hogs as the reported species slaughtered under inspection. Because the plant reports no custom-exempt activity, animals brought here would be expected to move through federally inspected slaughter rather than custom-exempt processing. Species other than hogs are not listed in the federal slaughter record. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file, so producers should contact the plant at (830) 774-0065 to confirm what work it takes, as listed.

Union Slaughter House, Inc. operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally indicates meat sold directly to household customers, but no source on file describes a retail counter, bundles, halves or quarters, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Buyers interested in purchasing pork or other products would need to contact the plant directly at (830) 774-0065 to learn 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.
