Have you considered buying a quarter/half beef or half/whole hog but been hesitant to pull the trigger. The article linked here written by Ambrook has some great perspective on the concept. Check it out! ambrook.com/offrange/livestock/eat-a-whole-cow
If you're interested in filling your freezer with quarter/half beef or half/whole hog let us know or check out the links in the comments.
Turbulent meat prices could push Americans to buy a year’s worth of beef at a time — a huge shift to how we think about meat.

There's been a trend recently where people compare what they looked like in 2016 to what they look like today in 2026. We thought we'd join in on the fun since 2026 happens to be our 60th year in business. During the last ten years we have more than doubled our square footage and remodeled 98% of the original building at this site. Quick summary of the most notable facility changes since 2016:
2022 - Moved into new 19,000 square foot further processing facility that's connected on the North of the original building.
2024 - Moved into new freezer, expanded and remodeled retail area, remodeled slaughter area as well as cutting area and carcass cooler.
2025 - Started using new expanded holding pens designed for humane handling and increased employee safety.
What will we look like in 2036? We'll update you then 🙂 .

Me and my partner just bought the black pepper bacon. Not only is it the prettiest but it is the tastiest bacon I’ve ever had. The workers were also very personable and seemed to truly like the product as well. I will 100% come back.
I've had so many good products for edgewood locker and they do a ton for the small communities around Cedar Rapids. I live in Alburnett and they are always doing fundraising events for the different program. But this review is about the meatloaf. When I was there last week I decided to try the packaged meatloaf. It was so easy. It came in a tube just like regular ground beef. I put it in the loaf pan and smooshed three pounds together. Threw it in the oven and about an hour later had dinner. My family thought I had made it because it was in what looked like ground beef tubes. But I had to give credit where credit was due. I was skeptical when I bought it but nothing could have been easier and honestly I don't know when I have had better meatloaf.
Your dried beef is the best around!
