Tony Ivey asked me to share this since he still can’t post directly to our page. ❤️
“Just picked up our 5th order from MK this year, keeping our freezer and our sons’ freezers stocked full of beef and pork!
Hands down, the absolute best-quality meats we have found. Out of 2 beef orders and over 1,000 lbs of pork, we have yet to have a bad cut. The taste, tenderness, and service are the best you can put on your table.
We will never buy store-bought meats again! Once you taste MK meats, you’ll see the difference from the first bite to the last.
Thank you all for supplying our family with good-quality beef and pork so we can rest assured the quality is going to be top-notch. We never have to guess if it’s going to be good!”

We truly appreciate customers like Tony who take the time to share their experiences with MK Livestock. Repeat customers and word-of-mouth recommendations mean so much to our farm. Knowing we're helping keep another family's freezers stocked with quality beef and pork is exactly what it's all about. Thank you, Tony, for your continued support and trust in our farm!

2026 is almost a wrap for beef & hog availability!

We’re down to just a few openings for the rest of the year:

🗓️December 14 — Hog availability at Mooresville Butcher Shop

🗓️December 22 — 1/4 Beef & 1/2 Hog available at Lighthouse Custom Meats (Vacuum Seal Available)

🗓️December 30 — 1/4, 1/2, or whole beef opening at Mooresville Butcher Shop

If you’re hoping to get something before the end of the year but don’t see a date that works, we do offer a cancellation list in case someone cancels between now and year-end.

We’ll also be opening our books for 2027 soon, so keep an eye out for those dates!

Thank you to everyone who has supported our farm and filled our 2026 butcher dates! ♥️

Fun Fact!
Did you know? 🧐
Brisket is actually the pectoral muscle of the “cow”, located in the lower chest. It’s a heavily worked muscle that helps support the animal’s body weight, which makes it naturally tougher than many other cuts of beef.

Brisket contains a lot of collagen and connective tissue, which is why it can be tough and chewy if cooked too quickly.

When brisket is cooked low and slow for several hours, the heat gradually breaks down the collagen.

That tough connective tissue transforms into gelatin, giving properly smoked or braised brisket its signature tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

That’s why brisket isn’t a rush job. Good things take time!
