About Meats of Montana
Pioneer Meats operates from Big Timber, Montana, where Brian and Kary Engle established the business in 2006 on a 20-acre property. Brian’s path into meat processing began in his youth, cutting meat with his family, and later processing deer and elk for friends from a converted semi-trailer between 1993 and 1997. After earning an Animal Sciences degree from Montana State University, he and Kary restarted the venture, building a USDA-inspected facility at the current location. The company provides custom meat processing for both domestic livestock and wild game, producing a range of cured and smoked products including snack sticks, bratwurst, bacon, sausage, hot dogs, along with proprietary sauces and spice blends. A retail store on-site sells these items directly to consumers. The facility handles cutting, grinding, curing, smoking, and packaging, though specific equipment and headcount are not disclosed. Pioneer Meats serves individual hunters, livestock owners, and retail customers across Montana and beyond. The business is active in the meat processing industry through membership in the Montana Meat Processors Association, the North West Meat Processors Association, and the American Association of Meat Processors, with Brian Engle holding board positions in the first and third organizations. The Engles attribute their reputation to a focus on award-winning quality; since 2005 the company has earned multiple Grand Champion titles at state and regional cured-meat shows, including Best of Show for bacon in 2009. Community involvement, from supporting local food banks to agricultural scholarships, is also cited as a core value.
