"This place is absolutely amazingly they are great people and they took care of my sister April through some tough times as far as I’m concerned this is the best butcher shop I have ever been to I’m so happy for the new owners but sad in my own way I am planning to stop by soon and possibly meet the new owners and maybe run into Randy newberg congratulations to you both Sarah and Cody you will be like family it’s just how this place works."

From the field to the freezer: Inside Montana’s Hunters Against Hunger Program

A meat processing facility might look — and even smell — like a horror scene, but here, the story is one of hope, as this meat is destined to feed the hungry.
​
“You can see there’s already 700 pounds there — that’s all going to the food bank,” says Cody Lightfoot.
​
That 700 pounds is only a fraction of the meat Lightfoot and his partner, Sarah, see at Yellowstone Processing. The facility has operated for more than a decade in Bozeman, just off I-90, but Lightfoot and Sarah became the new owners last October.
​
“We processed 1,029 animals last year between October and February,” Lightfoot says. “I’m thinking we’re going to hit 2,000 or better this year.”
​
The facility can hold up to 300 animals at a time — from deer to elk, even bison. But processing meat for hunters isn’t their only mission.
