What makes our products great

We know firsthand the time, energy, and hard work that it takes to raise your animal. Because of this, you need a custom processor that you can trust. Our tracking system ensures that the animal that you drop off is the meat that you bring home. Each animal is assigned a lot number when it arrives in our pens. That number stays with your animal to the kill shoot, through the holding cooler, to the cutting table, and into the freezer. We process one animal at a time on our tables. Each grind is done individually as well to ensure that the ground meat you take home is from your animal. We also provide a full computerized animal detail list at pick up of all the cuts that you take home. Our team takes great pride in getting each order done to your specifications.
