Ranchers first.
Pasture to plate isn’t just a slogan to Coastal Plains, it’s their mission for the future of the industry. A future that revolutionizes beef processing, and creates more opportunity than ever before for local cattle operations.
Ranchers First
For too long, Louisiana cattle left Louisiana to be processed — and the value left with them. Coastal Plains was built to change that.
We put the cattle farmer first and source locally first. A USDA-inspected plant close to home. Two ways to work with us: sell us your cattle, or bring them in for custom processing. And buyers waiting on the other side: shoppers, restaurants and grocers.
Pasture to Plate
Coastal Plains incorporates a form of food traceability where the origin of the beef is identified to consumers. The focus is to remove the bottleneck for producers to bring their product to consumer.
Traceability works both ways. Your customers know the ranch. You know where your cattle ended up — on a family’s table, a restaurant menu or in a grocer’s meat case.
Removing the Bottleneck
The hardest part of raising great cattle in Louisiana was never the cattle. It was getting them to market. Here’s how we fix that.
Close to Home
USDA-inspected harvest in Eunice, right off I-10 and I-49. Less hauling, less shrink, less stress on the animal.
Custom Processing
500 to 1,800 lb live weight. Whole carcass or boxed. Vacuum-packed.
Your Brand
Private label and branded programs for producers ready to sell under their own name.
A Bigger Market
USDA-inspected product can be sold across state lines — not just at the end of your driveway.
More Buyers
Retail, wholesale and Ranch Beef Direct all pull from the same plant, so there are more ways to move your beef.
One Herd. Three Markets.
Every head that comes through Eunice has three ways to market. That’s more opportunity for Louisiana cattlemen than this state has ever had.
Protein Processing
Beef, pork and smoked & specialty meats — for wholesale, Ranch Beef Direct and producers’ own branded programs.
Wholesale Distribution
Restaurants, grocers and institutions buying Louisiana beef by the case.
Ranch Beef Direct
Louisiana beef for families, shipped nationwide.
When a family or a restaurant guest sits down to a steak, there’s a good chance it came off a Louisiana pasture.
Connecting Cattlemen to Consumers
Louisiana families want to know where their beef comes from. Ranch Beef Direct puts Louisiana cattlemen’s beef on their doorstep — packed fresh and shipped nationwide.
Packed fresh in Louisiana and shipped nationwide, wherever you live.
