Zimmerman Meats

Zimmerman Meats provides slaughter and processing services in Summersville, Missouri, serving the greater Ozarks region near Springfield. The facility works with cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, handling everything from harvest through final cuts for farmers and producers across south-central Missouri.

Their setup is built around the needs of small to mid-sized operations, whether that means a single family raising a few hogs for freezer meat or a rancher bringing in a herd of cattle for custom processing. Sheep and goat producers in the surrounding farm communities also rely on facilities like this one when it comes time to move animals from pasture to plate.

For those managing livestock in the Ozark hills, having a processor that handles multiple species in one location simplifies logistics considerably. Producers can coordinate slaughter and processing dates around their own schedules, whether that's tied to seasonal weight targets or planning ahead for holiday orders and bulk meat sales to local customers.
