Custom Processing

Sklenarik’s Smoked Meats, Inc. has been proudly serving the West Texas area with top quality custom harvesting and processing since 1985. We will continually strive to provide you with the best service possible.

We are a USDA Inspected facility with approved HACCP and SSOP plans. We have implemented Humane Handling procedures to handle your livestock with the best care possible.

Custom Harvest Basics:

• Custom harvest is on Monday and you must have an appointment.
• You need to have your animal at the plant no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Monday of your appointment.
• Unloading is on a first come, first served basis. We will try to get you unloaded in a reasonable time. Our humane handling procedures do not allow us to over crowd the pen. If your animal is a little on the wild side or if you have more than one animal you might be required to wait a little longer. We will do our best to get you unloaded in a timely fashion.
• All livestock must be in good health, with no known diseases. Livestock must be able to stand and walk in on their own. We do not except downers or dead livestock.

Packaging:

• All meat is vacuum packaged in 3 mil plastic bags using bone guard protection were needed and sealed using a commercial vacuum packaging machine.
