Livestock processing is available at our location. Please give us a call at (507) 524-1112 or email us at threebrothersmeatmarket@gmail.com to get on the schedule!

Our meat processing facility in Mapleton, MN is built for efficiency, quality, and animal care. We utilize a state-of-the-art rail system, a 1,500-square-foot drip cooler, and a large hanging cooler to ensure proper handling, optimal chilling, and consistent results from start to finish. We are a custom-exempt facility with the intention of becoming a USDA-licensed company in the future.

We partner with local farmers and livestock producers to provide whole animal processing for beef, pork, lamb, and goat. Our facility is designed for high-capacity processing, allowing us to serve producers who require reliable volume, precise cutting, and professional handling.

Designed with producers in mind, our setup supports a smooth livestock drop-off process, with easy access for livestock trailers and a chute system that makes unloading safe, efficient, and low-stress.
