currently working Part time for a small On the Farm Slaughter Butcher shop
I have worked Part time at a Friends Custom Butcher Shop since 2008. We do on the farm slaughter Custom Meat processing. Currently Wild Hog and he used to own Braham Meats in Braham MN which I also worked part time at. I have knowledge in Slaughtering, boning, sausage making, smoking/curing product, wrapping and vacuum sealing and some Band saw experience breaking down carcass's.
Additional Information
I am interested in working closer to home and getting into the Meat Processing business Full time as it is a skilled profession that I have grown fond of over the past 15-20 years. I currently commute 62 one way to work. Though my experience is from a small scale shop I believe my Supervisor skills and meat handling experience could be beneficial to your business. Milaca Meats is 8 Miles from my home and I believe I could and would love to help in getting a new business started. The fact that ConAgra Brands is a food packaging facility I am SQF Certified and I am trained in many areas of Safe Food Handling and Equipment cleaning.
