TAMP Processed Meats Product Show 2017

The Texas Association of Meat Processors (TAMP) held their 31st annual convention in College Station, August 10-12, 2017.  TAMP members are primarily the small and very small meat plants around Texas and their associated suppliers. Dr. Davey Griffin, professor and Extension Meat Specialist serves as the director of the association through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Animal Science and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. The association holds its annual convention in College Station every-other-year to have an opportunity to learn from the Texas A&M University System faculty during their educational program and to conduct their Processed Meat Product Show using university experts for the class judges.

Friday morning, the group was hosted by Ruffino Meats and Food Service where they were given a tour of their processing facility. Texas A&M University former student and plant manager Terry Wiese lead a team of “tour guides” for the event.

Thank you John Ellisor for posting on Facebook these newspaper articles and advertisements from the early days of Readfield Meats! We have come a long way in 55 years from the store in downtown Bryan, to our current location at the old Hanson’s building on Texas Avenue. Starting with Readfield Meats in 1960, we added Ruffino Meats and Food Service in 1983, which has allowed us to ship our locally made products into the surrounding areas. Through it all, we have kept our mission of providing quality custom products and services, while maintaining a strong focus on customer satisfaction.
