Now...everyone, trust you will take me seriously...lol. Know there are excellent opinions and advice on this board...will appreciate your help!
We've located a beef processor in the St Joseph, MO area who wants Longhorn beef to add leanness to their commercial ground beef. We're taking couple of our non-breeding & non-big horn cattle to them along with 2 of our LH being sold to a private ranch in that area.
Now...the question:
Does anyone know of a Beef Processor (small type) in the Texas, OK, Southern Colo., Eastern NM area that would be interested in Longhorn meat? This would include small processors that also have a meat market at their facility.
Since we don't do "sale barn" LH sales, but do slaughter one as needed for our own use, we (as others) usually end up with "extra" bulls that are not suitable for breeding sires (horn growth potential, color, pedigree stuff, etc.). We don't sell to other breeders anything we would not want to use for breeding ourselves.
Being in the Texas Panhandle, I would like to find a meat processor within 200 to 400 miles of here that would be interested in buying "beef on the hoof" from us.
Thanks for anyone's help!
