They transitioned from corporate jobs to opening a custom meat-processing facility in Story City, Iowa, after extensive planning and community support. The locker focuses primarily on beef and pork, performing both custom and state-inspected processing. Ty emphasizes the importance of good communication with farmers, the need for proper employee management, and the adoption of Temple Grandin's animal handling principles to ensure meat quality. They also address seasonal business fluctuations and strategies for maintaining operations year-round. The episode offers valuable insights into managing a meat-processing business and highlights the significance of quality, customer satisfaction, and community engagement.
