Meade Locker & Processing, LLC

Meade Locker & Processing, LLC provides slaughter and processing services for cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs in Meade, Kansas, part of the southwest Kansas region near Dodge City. The facility handles the full range of custom meat processing work that area farms and ranches depend on, from harvest through cutting and packaging for local producers.

Their setup accommodates multiple species, which makes them a practical option for mixed livestock operations rather than single-animal specialists. This kind of flexibility matters for smaller farms and family operations that raise a variety of animals and need one place to bring cattle one week and hogs or goats the next.

Locker plants like this one serve as a backbone for rural food systems, turning locally raised livestock into meat for home freezers, farm stores, or direct sales. For producers in the Meade area looking to keep processing close to home rather than trucking animals long distances, a nearby facility handling multiple species can simplify scheduling and logistics considerably.
