Our Story
From Cow-Calf Producers to Processors
A Cut Above Processing started as a life-long dream that began to become a reality in the Spring of 2020. The Ladner family recognized an increasing demand for the processing of local beef, and decided the time was right to move forward with planning.
​
As multi-generational cow-calf producers, we are familiar with the cattle business. We run our own herd of over 100 mama cows on 1600 acres in north Hancock County. Our children participate in 4-H where we show our cattle. The care and quality of our animals and our work is our top priority. We strongly believe this results in a better end product for the consumer. We also understand that you want to ensure the food you feed your family is safe, wholesome, and raised sustainably and responsibly. As farmers who feed our family's this same food, we strive to meet these goals each day. Additionally, we built our facility to be as environmentally-friendly as possible, and are proud to say we are the first processing facility of our size in the state to install our own underground wastewater treatment facility.
​
Our goal, along with other area producers, is to provide the community with quality, locally sourced food that you can feel good about serving your family.
