A USDA plant for small producers
Creek Ranch Meat Processing (Creek Ranch Inc.) is a USDA-inspected livestock slaughter and meat processing plant at 413 County Road 4781, Boyd, Texas 76023, in Wise County. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service granted the plant inspection on June 13, 2024, under establishment number M2146+V2146.
We process animals you raise or buy, either custom for your own family’s freezer or USDA-inspected so you can sell the meat with the USDA mark of inspection. Every order is cut to your cut sheet, vacuum-packed and boxed. We can print your farm name and logo on the labels.

From your trailer to your freezer
Book a slaughter date
Call or send a request at least one week ahead. Tell us the species, how many animals, their age and size, and whether the meat is for your own use or for sale.
Send your cut sheet
Fill out the cut sheet before drop-off. It tells our butchers exactly how to cut, grind, package and label your animal.
Drop off at 5:30–6:00 a.m.
Bring your animal on the morning of your appointment in a trailer that lets it unload safely. A Creek Ranch employee will meet you and unload with you.
We slaughter, cut and pack
Your animal is processed in our USDA-inspected plant, cut to your sheet, vacuum-packed and boxed. Allow at least three days; busy seasons take longer.
Pick up and pay
We call when your order is ready. Pick up Monday to Thursday, 10–11 a.m. or 2–3 p.m., within 5 days. Payment is due in full at pickup.
Meat you can sell
Custom-exempt shops can only return meat stamped “Not for Sale” to the animal’s owner. At Creek Ranch you can choose USDA-inspected processing instead. A federal inspector examines every inspected animal before and after slaughter, and your packages carry the USDA mark of inspection with our establishment number.
That is what lets you sell beef or goat by the cut, supply a restaurant or market, or ship to buyers in other states.
