Montana ranchers deliver 14K meals to the community

A community-driven effort in Big Sandy, Montana, is making locally raised beef more accessible to schoolchildren and seniors through a nonprofit meat processing initiative. In November, 12 beef were sent for processing in partnership with local producers, resulting in thousands of nutritious meals. According to 3KRTV, the program ensures transparency and quality by keeping the meat sourced, processed, and distributed within the community, strengthening the connection between producers and consumers.

With the support of producers, financial contributors, and volunteers, the initiative continues to grow, aiming to process 12 to 16 cattle annually. The effort not only increases food security but also fosters local pride, as community members come together to support the next generation and provide high-quality, nutritious beef to those in need.
