Almena Meat Company was established in November 1988 by Brad and Kay Rundhaug, who built a reputation for quality, integrity and personal service in the heart of northwest Wisconsin. For more than 35 years, the business earned the trust of local families, farmers and hunters with expert butchering, custom livestock procession and handcrafted sausage made with time-honored recipes.

In 2024, ownership transitioned to a new team of local producers and ranchers with deep roots in agriculture and a shared commitment to carrying the torch forward. While the traditions and values of AMC remain, we;ve implemented facility upgrades, enhanced food safety standards, and modernized processing systems to raise the bar for both quality and consistency.

Almena Meat Company now operates as a USDA-inspected custom processor specializing in beef, hog, lamb and venison processing. Our skilled team works closely with livestock producers and customers to deliver precision butchering and reliable service, all backed by decades of local heritage.

The retail counter on site now operates under our sister brand, Ranch Brand Meat Company, offering premium, locally sources beef and speciality products that reflect the same dedication to quality you’ll ind on the processing floor.

Whether you’re a producer seeking custom processing or a customer looking for exceptional meats, Almena Meat Company stands ready to serve with small-town pride, modern precision, and an unbroken line to the traditions that started it all.
