Artisan butcher counter displaying premium cuts of fresh meat
Established · Iroquois, South Dakota

Not every shop carries what
yours does.

Custom cuts, house-made sausages, and the kind of personal service that only comes from doing this work for generations — right here in Iroquois.

Our Story

A family tradition
cut deep.

Country Butcher Shop has been a fixture on North Ottowa Street since 1978 — long before "local" was a trend and "artisanal" had a price tag. What started as a small family operation grew into the go-to destination for meat lovers across rural South Dakota.

We don't buy our meats from a catalog. Every side of beef, every pork quarter, every poultry bird is sourced from regional farms we know by name. That means you get meat that tastes like meat used to — rich, properly textured, and free from the fillers and additives that have crept into so much of what's sold in supermarkets.

When you walk through our door, you're not a ticket number. You're the person who brings us their own animal to process, or the farmer who needs a special cut for the county fair, or the neighbor stopping by on the way home. That's the way we like it.

What We Offer

More than a counter.

From the case to the custom order, every service we provide is built around one principle: your meat should be exactly what you need it to be.

Custom Cuts

Tell us how you want it — thickness, trim, bone-in or out. We'll cut it to your specifications, every time. No standard portions unless you ask for them.

House-Made Sausage

Ground fresh daily with recipes passed down through the family. From classic breakfast to our signature hot Italian — each batch is mixed, stuffed, and ready for your grill or freezer.

Whole & Half Animals

Buy direct from the farm and have it processed at our shop. Beef, pork, lamb — we handle the butchery so you get maximum yield and every cut accounted for.

Special Orders

Need a specific cut that isn't in the case? Smoking, curing, or processing something unusual? We take special orders and will work with you to get exactly what you're looking for.

Farm & Ranch Supply

We serve the agricultural community directly. Whether you're processing your own herd or need supplies for your operation, we understand what working people need.

Local & Regional

Every product in our case comes from farms and ranches within driving distance. We know where your meat is from because we know the people who raised it.

Our Standards

Quality you can see and taste.

No fillers, no shortcuts

What you get is exactly what's in the package. No injected solutions, no added sodium phosphate, no mystery ingredients. Just meat, salt, and the spices we choose.

Proper aging & handling

We dry-age our beef when the order calls for it. Our refrigeration and handling practices follow the strictest standards so every cut arrives at your table at its peak.

Tracked from farm to counter

We know the source of every animal we process. If you want to know which farm your beef came from, we'll tell you — and we'll be happy to connect you with the producer.

Stop By

Come see what the difference makes.

Walk in any weekday and we'll have you sorted. Or give us a call — we're happy to take orders, answer questions, or help you plan for your next gathering.
