Custom Processing
Your Meat, Your Way
Whether you’re raising the animal yourself, buying from us, or buying from a trusted farm, we’ll cut it exactly the way you want it—no mixing, no shortcuts, no surprises.
What Is Custom Processing?
When you bring your animal to Link’s, you’re not getting just any meat—you’re getting your meat, processed to your exact specifications.
Our experienced team handles every step with care, precision, and respect for the animal you raised (or purchased). That means better cuts, better taste, and peace of mind knowing what’s going in your freezer.
Why Calling to Schedule is Critical
Our calendar books up fast—especially around county fairs and busy seasons.
Calling early ensures your spot, gives us time to plan, and guarantees your animal is processed to your exact specifications.
Whether you already know your harvest date or are still raising your animal, the best time to call is now. Don't get stuck without a booking when you need it most!

The Custom Processing Plan
Here's how it works...
1. Schedule Early
Call us to reserve your harvest slot. For summer fair season (July–September), spots fill fast. It’s smart to schedule 6–8 months in advance if you can. Best practice, call when you first get the animal.
2. Give Instructions
Once your harvest date has arrived, we’ll walk you through cutting instructions. From steak thickness to roast sizes, then package quantity, our team makes sure your order fits your preferences.
3. Cut to Order
Your animal is processed exactly to your specs. No commingling. No guesswork. We believe the one who raised or bought it deserves to get their meat back.
4. Pick Up & Enjoy!
When your order is ready, it’s cut to your exact specifications, sharp frozen for lasting freshness, and packed with care—so you can fill your freezer and enjoy every meal with confidence.

A whole equals the full animal. A half is one full side. A quarter is a “half of a half” — an even mix of both front and hind cuts.
We need them before processing day.
Beef harvested on Monday, processed the following Week
Pork harvested on Wednesday, processed the next day.
Beef by Saturday of harvest week
Pork by Wednesday of harvest week
One million dollars! (kidding) Although we'd be happy to take a million dollars, there is actually no deposit required for custom processing. Exception: If you purchase the animal through us, we do request 50% down.
