Family Values, Professional Results

My father-in-law didn't just grow up hunting; he built a career around honoring the harvest. For decades, he ran processing facilities for the nation's first and largest organic and natural meat brand, handling cattle for hundreds of thousands of customers who demanded the highest quality and strictest standards. When he moved to Montana, his reputation for precision, quality control, and uncompromising integrity followed him. Other processors in our valley still seek his advice when they face challenges with their setups. His knowledge of large-scale operations combined with artisan-level attention to detail has become legendary among hunters and processors wherever he's been.

But for him, it was never just about the business—it was about respect. Respect for the animal, respect for the hunter's effort, and respect for the tradition that connects us all.

I came to hunting later in life. I didn't grow up with a rifle in my hands or stories around the campfire. But what I lacked in childhood experience, I made up for in genuine curiosity and respect for the tradition.
When my father-in-law took me under his wing, something special happened. Here was a man eager to learn not just how to hunt, but how to do it right. How to read the land, make ethical shots, and—most importantly—how to honor every animal with proper care from field to freezer.

My Shot My Meat represents everything we believe in. We process only one animal at a time, not because it's the easiest way, but because it's the right way. We track every harvest from the moment it arrives until it's packaged and ready for your freezer.

I understand what it's like to be a newer hunter wondering if you can trust your processor. We know exactly how to deliver on that trust with decades of proven expertise.

What started as a father-in-law teaching his son-in-law became something deeper: a partnership built on shared values and complementary strengths. He brought decades of commercial processing expertise—the kind of precision and quality control that national organic brands demanded—combined with old-school craftsmanship. I brought fresh perspective and an understanding of what modern hunters really want—the guarantee that their specific harvest comes back to their table.

We're not just business partners—we're family. And we treat every hunter's harvest like it's going to feed our own family. Because in our valley, that's often exactly what it is.

When you choose My Shot My Meat, you're not just getting professional processing. You're getting the wisdom of a processing legend combined with the passion of someone who remembers what it felt like to bring home that first successful hunt.

We're hunters serving hunters. Your success is our success. Your meat is your meat.
