Nathan Troudt from Trout Meats discussed the official opening of his USDA-inspected processing facility located eight miles north of Otis, Colorado. The facility handles pork, beef, lamb, and goats, with pork typically processed on Fridays. Troudt highlighted the extensive paperwork and meetings required for USDA inspection. He noted a strong local and regional customer base, with a preference for paper-wrapped meat due to nostalgia and long-term freezer storage.
