[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1674093, member: 39347"] Where are you located? We just had a beautiful new USDA plant open here in Central Texas last February. By July they were no longer taking new clients, only those who had previously booked with them. By November they had set a $650 minimum processing fee (even with weight limits of 700-2000 lbs LW). I was lucky enough to be in their “original client” criteria, but they are still 6-8 monout booking. I applaud your idea-more processors are needed. See what your employee availability is, however. That may be your biggest limitation. Not a lot of folks wanting to humanely kill every day (the crazies enjoy non-humane). Processing can make or break a processor-screw up cuts on one too many orders and you’re done. [/QUOTE]
