Glacier Processing Cooperative

Glacier Processing Cooperative provides slaughter and processing services in Columbia Falls, Montana, serving the broader Flathead Valley region near Kalispell.

The cooperative handles a wide range of livestock and poultry, including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Their processing capabilities cover both red meat and poultry lines, making them a practical option for farms and producers who raise multiple species and need slaughter and processing under one roof.

This kind of setup tends to suit small to mid-sized operations, including family farms, 4-H and FFA participants, and local ranchers looking to process animals close to home rather than trucking livestock long distances. Producers raising mixed flocks or herds may find value in working with a single processor for both poultry and larger animals. As with any processing facility, farmers should confirm current scheduling, capacity, and specific service details directly with the cooperative before bringing animals in.
