L&H Packing Co., which opened its doors in 1963, is closing up shop. The South San Antonio beef processing plant, located on Steves Avenue near U.S. Highway 90, is ceasing operations after drought conditions and other factors have significantly shrunk the size of the U.S. cattle population.
“That is the sole reason for this,” says L&H Packing CEO Neal Leonard about the decision to shutter the company," says Neal Leonard, CEO of L&H Packing Co. parent firm Leonard Holding Co. “It was only after careful consideration and months of prayerful thought that my executive committee and I recommend this action to our board of directors. We needed to allocate our resources elsewhere.”
L&H operates a pair of sister companies — Surlean Foods and New Earth Soils & Compost.
