Integrity Prime Meats brings together Paul Neuner and Scott Steele, two people who came to the meat processing industry from different sides of the business but share a commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and service.

Paul brings the perspective of the producer. As the owner of Maries River Wagyu, he represents the second generation of a Missouri farming operation with more than 30 years of history. Raising Wagyu cattle has given Paul firsthand experience with the investment producers make long before an animal ever reaches the processor—the genetics, feed, land, labor, time and countless decisions required to produce exceptional beef.

Scott brings experience from both large-scale meat processing and independent retail butchery. Before becoming the owner of Steele’s Fine Custom Meats, Scott worked within one of the nation’s major meat packing companies, gaining firsthand experience with the systems, standards and discipline required in large-scale meat processing. Today, as a butcher shop owner, he understands the business from the other end of the supply chain—the importance of skilled cutting, thoughtful fabrication and getting the greatest possible value from every animal. Together, Paul and Scott saw an opportunity to build the kind of processing company that is more of a partner to beef and pork producers than simply a processor. 

When you put “Integrity” in your name, you set a standard you have to live up to every day. For Paul, Scott, and the staff at Integrity Prime Meats, integrity means doing what we say we will do, treating every producer’s livestock with the respect their investment deserves, communicating openly, and continually looking for ways to help our customers build stronger, more successful businesses.
