Our Story

Our story begins in transportation. In 1925, William and Otto Brakebush started the family business with one delivery truck, transporting local livestock and poultry to larger markets in Madison and Milwaukee, WI. After expanding into sugar and egg delivery, the brothers took the next logical step; dressing and freezing live poultry as a service to their customers.

Thus began our adventure into modernized poultry processing. Today, we continue to provide the highest quality chicken at a competitive price and back it with the finest service through multiple facilities and national sales regions across the country.

Our plants in Westfield, WI, Wells, MN and Mocksville, NC focus on further processing. This is where all our cooking, par-frying, slicing, and dicing, etc. happen.

Brakebush Irving (TX) uses state-of-the-art equipment
like DSI water jet cutters for precision sizing and
portioning of raw product.

They keep our national accounts and other plants
well-stocked. This has led to the need to acquire a
cold storage facility close by in Grand Prairie, TX.
