Scanga Meat Company

Scanga Meat Company provides slaughter and processing services in Salida, Colorado, serving the central Colorado region near Colorado Springs. The facility works with cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, handling animals from local ranches, small farms, and backyard herds throughout the Arkansas River valley.

Their operation covers the full path from live animal to finished product, offering both slaughter and custom processing under one roof. This setup suits ranchers looking to sell direct, homesteaders raising a few head for their own freezer, and 4-H or FFA families finishing out show animals. Scanga has been part of the Salida community for decades, giving it familiarity with the seasonal rhythms of mountain-area livestock production.

For producers in the surrounding high country, having a processor that handles multiple species in one location simplifies logistics, especially during the busy fall harvest season when ranch schedules and hunting season overlap with typical processing demand.
