Kustom & Game Processing

The “Kustom” in Kelso’s Kustom Meats: cutting and wrapping your own animal, for your own table.

How the Kustom side works

The “Kustom” in our name means custom cutting and wrapping of livestock for the owner’s personal use.
Kustom work is done in a separate part of the building from the retail market — there’s a wall between them, with its own door.
Custom-processed meat goes back to its owner. It isn’t sold at the retail counter.
We don’t slaughter on site — a third party handles farm kill; Kelso’s does the cutting and wrapping.
