About Us
Deer Creek Meats was founded in Glendive, Montana in 2020 by owners Josh and Christina Kreilaus and our four growing boys.
We are a pastured meat producer focused on raising beef, pork and poultry in an ethical and regenerative manner. All our animals are raised on pasture where they are able to live as God intended without small pens or cages. We purchase our grain from a neighboring farm. We buy an organic mineral and protein pack which we mix into the grain that we grind ourselves, ensuring our animals only receive the highest quality feed. We do not use GMO’s or soy in any of our feed.
Our ranch is chemical free in every aspect. We do not use antibiotics or dewormers on our animals. Our cattle spend their lives moving from pasture to pasture in constant rotation. Our pigs are raised in the same manner while being supplemented with our homemade feed. Our pigs are a heritage breed cross giving beautifully marbled, dark red meat.

Practices
Over the last few years we have worked diligently to perfect pasture raised poultry in a short growing season like we have in Montana. We raise 5 batches of 1000 birds starting in March and running until the beginning of September. The breed of chicken that we raise is a variation that gives great tasting meat while being healthy and active. We receive our meat birds from a small family-owned hatchery in North Dakota when they are one day old. The chicks go immediately into our large brooder where they are able to stay warm and safe until they get their adult feathers. Once they are mature enough to live outside, they “graduate” to the pasture. They spend their time living as chickens should, eating grass, worms, and loads of grasshoppers. The chickens are moved daily until the week before processing at that time we move them twice a day to ensure they have fresh forage.
The biggest part of our operation that sets us apart is that we are the only producer in Montana that has our chicken processed in a Certified Organic USDA facility. We work extremely hard to get our chicken processed in a manner that allows us to sell anywhere in the United States. This also gives us the ability to ensure our chickens are processed without any harsh chemicals that would get passed onto the customer. We strive to raise our animals in the best ways possible and truly believe you can tell the difference every time you take a bite.
