Re: Selling directly to San Angelo meat packers
Dunno about your question, but that rendering plant out on Bell St, San Angelo is about the foulest smelling thing I've ever been around or down wind of.

That’s Lone Star they are the largest buyer of kill cows in this area through the ring.
Never seen them buy feeders.

There's at least four..lone Star, Texas , Caviness and at least one more. We sell stocker/feeders direct to capital in schewertner.
I'm thinking i can do the same with packers in SA . I think maybe it was ranchman90 who was going that route.If I can't raise him here I should have his number. Just have to find it.

Re: Selling directly to San Angelo meat packers
Think it was NolanCountyAg who sold them to Texas beef in San Angelo. IIRC think he said Texas was paying 20 cents more than Lone Star at that time. Am hearing there is some backlog at these plants so would be sure to coordinate with them for delivery date.

Re: Selling directly to San Angelo meat packers
That was me that brought it up the other day. Idk if they are listed as Texas Packers or san angelo packing but its just down the road from lonestar and they were paying 20 cents more than lonestar 2 weeks ago. I'd give each a call and see what they are paying now. The one that just started back up said they were paying more than LS to try and build their client base back up. They were doing 350/day when I hauled the other day. Those prices may not last past the first of the year.

How does it work? You can and they tell you when to show up? They weight them when you offload them and cut you a check?

Thanks brute.
My question exactly.
At capital, they sort into like groups weigh and cut you a check. If you don't like it you can load em back up.
Do the packers take small loads. A dozen or so at a time?

Re: Selling directly to San Angelo meat packers
I am a long ways from San Angelo and don't know how it works there. But I sold a load of cows direct to the kill plant this fall. I called them ahead and scheduled the delivery. They paid based on the dressed weight. I shipped on Tuesday. The cows were killed on Wednesday. The check was in Saturday's mail. I felt I did better than I would have done at the auction. I know a guy who hauls for people with a GN trailer. He takes in a load or two a week. Most of those loads come from multiple dairies mixed together.

Brute, you get paid on dressed weight, not live.

Re: Selling directly to San Angelo meat packers
Fine and dandy how do I know I am getting dressed weight for my calf.
I have worked several professions one was journeyman butcher that is a dead end job.
I can tell you from the kill floor to the cold room they all look the same.

Cow then,it is totally an honor system that’s your cow.
Unless you see the slaughter and the weight to the cold room your clueless.
I know a lot of things haved changed but carcass were never weighed on the kill floor.
