CRAFTED QUALITY FROM THE HEART OF HOUSTON
Born deep in the heart of Texas in 2000, our Houston facility quickly built a name for itself by doing what Texans do best: going big—on precision, consistency, and bold, cut‑above flavor. Now part of the Stock Yards® Collective family, this operation brings more than two decades of craft and local know‑how to the national stage. The result? Even more operators get access to the custom‑cut, chef‑secret proteins that have been leveling up Texas kitchens for years. Houston doesn’t just deliver quality—it delivers bragging rights.
What makes our work so rewarding is knowing that every cut we produce has a direct impact on the meals chefs create – and the experiences guests remember. We’re not just supplying ingredients - we’re contributing to the story each operator tells on the plate, and that’s a responsibility we take personally."
