Texas Meat Inspection Gets Okay
Texas meat inspection earned approval from the U S Department of Agriculture, aligning with federal standards. Faced with federal takeover or state control, the 1969 legislature chose state oversight and opened a Yoakum inspector training school. Federal approval remains for cross state line sales. In 1970 state inspectors audited over 306 million pounds of beef and pork and 63.5 million pounds of poultry.
