Another huge step for us… Shout out to Milagro Ranch and Marigold Livestock Co. again for trusting us with their processing needs.

As employees of Kinikin, we were constantly reminded of the difference in quality that customers experienced when compared to other nearby facilities.

But when corporate greed and negligence forced them to close their doors last year, we made it our mission to someday carry on the legacy of care and customer service that Kinikin left behind, and we are happy to announce that we are finally making it happen!

As we’re putting the finishing touches on for our first clients as a fully licensed, custom-exempt, and wild game processor, we’re excited to roll into our next batch of beef, showcasing our devotion to properly serve the Western Slope ranching community.

We specialize in on-farm harvesting, providing a mobile slaughter service that prioritizes a humane and low-stress environment for your livestock.

Our passion for quality means we process one animal at a time, providing a dedicated approach that ensures you get back exactly what you gave.

We have custom labeling options available to help you personalize your harvest or prepare it for your specific needs.

To maintain peak quality from field to freezer, your meat is cryovac’d for maximum freshness and longevity.

Give us a call or email us to check for upcoming availability and secure your slot. We have dates available throughout the spring and summer.

Don’t wait months for an opening at a traditional plant. We will bring the facility to you to save you time, the hassle, and the stress of hauling.

After a year of preparation and planning, many of our dreams are finally coming to fruition! We are now a fully-licensed custom exempt and wild game processor, and our specialty is on-farm harvesting, AKA mobile slaughter.

Many thanks to Milagro Ranch and Marigold Livestock Co. for trusting us with handling their most recent harvest (pictured below).

If you have beef on the ground and don't want to deal with the hassle of, nor the months-long wait to haul it to a plant, contact us.

We'll come to you, harvest right there on your farm, ranch, or homestead, take away any and all of the inedible waste if you prefer not to keep it for composting, and butcher/process your meat to your requirements back at our shop.

We'll even deliver your cryovac'd, labeled, and boxed meat back to you if you'd like.

We have dates as early as 5/31 available, and we are filling up fast!

Take away the stress of this most important phase in raising livestock. Visit our website, send us an email, or call the office for more information on how we can help you save time and allow you to focus on what matters most.

**TRIGGER WARNING** On-farm harvesting of animals.

No gates to fight and no trailers to load... Just a clean finish on the ground where they grew up. Better tasting pork becomes the standard when your animal never leaves their home pen.

Huge shout out and thanks to the lovely people at Mesa Winds Farm & Winery

Make the switch from hauling your animals to a plant and instead, have your harvest done on the farm, and then processed with care.

We're officially up and ready to take appointments!

While it might not be time to put the electric space heaters away just yet, we've got some craft meats in the shop.

If you've had our sausages before, then you know what time it is.

Come through, take a pound or two of our seasoned pork or beef, and go home happy. Links (not pictured, but chilling in the case) should be ready today as well.

We've got a few treats from Coquelicot Pastries, too. Don't miss out on those, either.

**WARNING** This video is real life. It’s the reality of where local food comes from.

​This is what respect and dignity look like. Our first mobile harvest.

​At Black Canyon Meats, we don't hide behind closed doors at large corporate facilities nor backlogged processing plants. And now, we are sharing a look at our Mobile Harvest Unit (MHU) in action.

​Today, we are bringing the butcher directly to your pasture, because the old way is the right way…

​We are currently finalizing the details of our Custom Meat Solutions platform. Soon, you'll be able to access our digital cut sheets and order forms to get your meat processed exactly the way you want it.

​Sign up for our newsletter on the website, or follow us and shoot us a DM if you want to stay connected.

​If you are a rancher or homesteader or know one who’s ready to bypass the bottleneck and book a mobile harvest, let's talk. Call us, shoot us an email, or stop by the shop in Hotchkiss.

Some of you, but not all of you, know that our smoker blew up during the holidays, and that it set us back quite a bit. The fire was so hot that it bent the rods inside.

Those charred s**t stains you see inside are the briskets we were preparing for holiday dinners. Every time our cook tried opening the door to save them, it would just breathe fire on him.

We lost a lot of brisket that day. And flour for that matter...

This couldn't have happened at a worse time. We had just spent our reserve cash stocking up on prime ribs, the aforementioned brisket, turkey, sides, stuffing, and rent & utilities.

Then January happens and the life of traffic around here seems to end, abruptly.

Barely enough to keep this thing afloat.

Sadly, we had to let some of our team down by letting them go so we could curl up into a fetal position and weather the winter's brutal reality of the barren slow season.

It sucked, but we swallowed the pill of perseverance and pushed on. We got ourselves back up with a temporary smoker while we save up for a full sized one.

The bright side of all this is that our Smoked Brisket is back, along with Smoked Pulled Pork and Smoked Shredded Chicken.

We've also got this dope ass Smoked Cajun Buffalo Turkey that we think you should try out. It's got just enough heat to make you feel it, but not so much that it overpowers the other flavors.

Sausages and brats are next on our list to fill the shop with. Come through and see what we're up to. Follow us on our socials and sign up for our newsletter online if you like good meat.
