What types of livestock does Midwestern Meat Locker process?

At Midwestern Meat Locker, we provide custom processing services for several types of livestock, including beef, pork, lamb, goats, bison, and yak. Our processing services allow customers to have their animals prepared into a variety of cuts based on their preferences. Whether you’re processing livestock for your household or purchasing meat in larger quantities, we help you understand the available options and prepare your order according to the processing instructions.

How does custom meat processing work from start to finish?

Custom meat processing begins with scheduling your animal and discussing the processing options available. After the animal is received and slaughtered, the carcass is prepared and, when appropriate, chilled or aged before cutting. Customers provide cutting instructions that determine how the meat will be divided into steaks, roasts, ground meat, and other products. At Midwestern Meat Locker, we work with customers to understand their preferences, package the finished cuts, and arrange pickup once the order is ready.
