We take cattle from Tarrant County for USDA-inspected harvest and fabrication. A whole on one cut sheet is $850. A half is $450. The price covers harvest, cutting, vacuum sealing, labeling, freezing, aging, and patties. There is no hanging-weight fee.
We do not do custom-exempt processing. You can sell beef processed here anywhere, including grocery stores and commercial distribution. If you’re building a brand in Tarrant County, that distinction matters.
Turnaround is 2–3 weeks from drop-off. The carcass chills 72 hours. Fresh cuts are packaged first. Brisket, ribeye, strip loin, tenderloin, sirloin, picanha, and tri-tip are wet aged 14 days. We text you when the order is ready.
Take Hwy 199, the Jacksboro Highway, northwest out of Fort Worth. It runs past Lake Worth and Azle straight into Springtown, and the plant is on the east side of town on 199 itself. From Keller or Saginaw, pick up 199 at Loop 820. About 30 minutes from downtown with a trailer.
Tarrant County beef comes to us in two forms. The first is small-acreage herds on the county's north and west edges, Haslet, Keller, and out toward Azle, where a family runs a few cattle and processes one a year. The second is show beef: the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo at Will Rogers Memorial Center is the biggest junior steer show in the region, followed a few weeks later by the Tarrant County Junior Livestock Show at the same grounds. Families and buyers who keep a steer rather than sending it to the packer make the 30-minute drive to us because the beef comes back USDA-inspected, which means it can be shared or sold.
