How Does Meat Processing Work?

If you’ve ever received prime cuts from a local Kalamazoo butcher shop, you know that the meat processing service is a craft that’s been refined for a long time. Here at Pease Packing, we’ve built our reputation on quality, care, and consistency, and it all starts with our exceptional meat processing.

In this month’s blog, we’re taking a closer look at the meat processing journey here at Pease Packing, and how it makes us the best option for premium meats.

Animal Receiving and Tagging

Your quest for the best meats in Kalamazoo all begins once you bring your animal to our facility. The first thing we do is tag it to ensure complete traceability. This system guarantees that every cut you receive later is 100% from the animal you brought in.

This detailed tagging process means no mix ups and has helped us set the tone for precision meat processing services for over 80 years.

Custom Cuts and Consistent Quality

Once the animal is harvested, our skilled team gets to work cutting it according to your exact specifications. Whether you’ve requested a half, quarter, or whole animal, every part is handled with care and processed to maximize both quantity and quality.

We believe there’s an art to butchering, and our experienced crew makes sure each cut reflects that.

Packing and Chilling

After your meat is portioned and prepped, each cut is vacuum sealed to preserve its freshness. Then, we immediately flash-freeze it to lock in flavor and tenderness. This rapid process shows that we’re willing to go the extra mile, so your meat is safe, fresh, and ready to enjoy.

The final step after this is storing your perfect cuts in our freezer, where they’ll wait for your pickup.
