Caviness Beef Packers, a third-generation family beef packing company based in Hereford, Texas, has announced that it has agreed to purchase the assets of San Angelo Packing Co. San Angelo Packing had announced in March that it would shut down because it was no longer able to obtain the sufficient number of cattle to continue operating, reports the San Angelo Standard-Times.
“We are excited about the opportunity to grow our beef business,” Caviness Beef Packing said in a statement. “The Stokes family has built a solid organization with a firm foundation that complements our existing business. Furthermore, we look forward to working with Jerrod Stokes and his existing management and becoming an integral part of the vibrant San Angelo, TX, community.”
