Beef processing for Wise County

A straight shot down FM 51 from Decatur, about 35 minutes.

Wise County, Texas

What we do for producers here

We take cattle from Wise County for full USDA-inspected harvest and fabrication, at one flat fee of $850 for a whole animal or $450 for a half, with cut and wrap, vacuum sealing, and your weight report already included.

Because we run under federal inspection rather than custom-exempt, beef processed here can be legally sold by the cut: at farmers markets, to restaurants, or direct to your customers. If you’re building a brand in Wise County, that distinction matters.

Turnaround is 2–3 weeks from drop-off, which includes a full 14-day aging period.

Wise County cattle, and who we see from here

Wise County is working ranch country with a long cattle history, and Decatur is also where Parker County Beef Company runs a retail butcher shop, so many Wise County customers already know our beef before they bring us an animal. Processing pickup is at the Springtown plant, not the Decatur store.

Show steers from Wise County

Wise County Youth Fair, Decatur. Late winter to early spring; confirm the year's dates with the fair.

Show animals get extra USDA residue screening at harvest, and show week fills fast. Read what to do with your show steer after the show and call before the show to hold a date.

Questions we get from Wise County

Can I pick up my beef at your Decatur store?
Processing pickup is at the plant in Springtown, 35 minutes down FM 51. The Decatur shop is retail only.
Do you take cull cows or older animals?
Yes. Expect a lower dressing percentage than a finished steer, and note that bone-in loin steaks like T-bones are not available on animals over 30 months. Strips and filets are.
