Branding Iron was formally introduced to the world in 2013 and we’ve been changing perceptions ever since. Combining the strengths of our two core companies, Holten Meats and Rochester Meat Company, has allowed us to hit the ground running in every way. But the combined reputations, equipment, teams and processes of our big two isn’t the only driving force behind Branding Iron. It’s the unified “customer-centric” philosophy, putting your reputation before ours, that really makes this thing work so well.

Our story began in 1915 when Cloverdale founder Hoy Russell started Mandan Creamery in Mandan, North Dakota. From the day he opened, Russell insisted on uncompromising quality, and his small creamery quickly earned a reputation for supplying the best-tasting, freshest dairy products to area kitchens.

Building on that success, a few years later the company introduced a line of premium pork products that steadily attracted more and more loyal customers, a move that would set the stage for the Cloverdale Foods you know and love today.
