Family owned and run by 5 of their children. Parents Merlin and Joann Burt, sons Kyle and Kern, daughters Kristie and Keri Jo and grandson Matt Burt. Butchering has been in the family for many generations and kept going on! When it first started back in the 1940s with Merlin he started with his father going from farm to farm with truck and trailer and all business was done at the farms. As he grew older he went to the Lewiston Locker and worked there for approximately 6 years. He also farmed and raised his own pigs and cattle. As years went by his children started learning the meat process of killing to finish product and learned all the different cuts from working with their dad. As they grew older and were on their own they each held different jobs, but when the opportunity came to purchase a meat locker in Eyota, MN we decided to go ahead and keep the meat business going since they grew up with it.
