Texas Tech University, Gordon W. Davis Meat Science Laboratory

Texas Tech University's Gordon W. Davis Meat Science Laboratory provides processing services in Lubbock, Texas, serving the South Plains region within reach of Amarillo. Operating as part of the university's animal science program, the facility handles slaughter and processing for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry including chickens, turkeys, and ducks.

The lab supports a range of species and use cases, from red meat harvest to poultry processing, making it a practical resource for producers working across different livestock and flock types. Its academic setting means the facility often ties processing work to teaching and applied research in meat science, giving it a slightly different rhythm than a standard commercial plant.

For farms, small producers, or breeders needing processing done for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, or various poultry species, the lab offers an established option within West Texas. Anyone considering the facility should reach out directly to confirm current capacity, scheduling, and species-specific requirements before planning a harvest.
