Is there anyone who butchers/processes chickens & turkeys in SE Texas?

[Michele G]

Is there anyone who knows of someone that will do the killing and processing of chickens and turkeys? I'm looking to raise up some meat birds and turkeys but I am not set up to do all the processing of the birds. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I’m not sure there’s much within 2 hours of you are you willing to drive? There’s windy meadows near Tyler, Cobb creek near Hillsboro, dewberry hills near Austin that are all inspected where you can sell. There’s a nice man in a waller that’s state inspected but not processed under inspection, so you have to have pre-sold the bird to use him and then sell it. If you want contact for any of those or further info on any of those let me know.

I just met someone near you who drives all the way to cobb creek which is why I’m not sure there’s someone near you.

Thanks for the responses. I guess it's time for me to learn how to do the deed myself....ughhhh. I was hoping one of the local 4H FFA clubs could do it but no luck yet.

Oh that's one more thing, sorry I forgot to mention. I would call your county fair office. There's got to be processors nearby and on hand for the winning birds in the fair....
