Shootncut Processing Plant

Paul Williamson has dreamed of owning his own processing plant for almost a decade now. As a native Texan, it might not be surprising that his favorite hobbies have always been hunting and fishing. His other favorite hobby has been cleaning, processing and cooking his trophy fish, deer and hog. Paul began his career working as a meat clerk in Houston, at Randalls, while he was only 16. Paul quickly advanced to manage the meat operations and provided the very best service for 12 years while at Randalls. Paul was then recruited by H-E-B where he managed the meat operations for 10 years. Paul’s knowledge of processing meat and making sausage spans back to his early years when he first fell in love with the meat business.

Because hunting has been a long held tradition in Paul’s family, he shared his love of wild gaming and fishing with his sons. Proccessing the meat properly is a passion for Paul, as is putting good quality food on the table. Paul’s friends and family especially like receiving smoked sausages and his awesome jerky during Christmas.
You know how people say “everything happens for a reason”? Well that is what happened in Paul’s dream of owning and operating his local processing plant. He told his friends and family of his dream and a few years later one of his friends let him know that a USDA built plant was up for sale. It needed some TLC and a little elbow grease to get up and running, but Paul was willing to shed some blood, sweat and tears on his dream. And some money.

As of the summer of 2013 Paul has been busting his butt, trying as hard as he can to open his plant in time for deer season. Once Paul has conquered deer season he plans to become USDA Certified so that he can grow his business into custom beef processing for customers that own and/or sell cattle. One day he would love to have an on site taxidermy shop for the convenience of his customers. With Paul’s track record, it won’t be long.
