Peter and Kelly Russell took over Inta Steak at 1494 Mountain Road in Inglewood in 2004, and the business now processes meat for farmers, lifestyle block owners and hunters across the Taranaki district. Much of the slaughter happens on the farm, with beef killed in its own surroundings, preferably among its herd mates. Each quarter is tagged before it leaves the site, so the meat stays with its owner through the whole process. Pigs, sheep, goats and venison are also processed, and abattoir-killed stock and wild game are accepted. On-farm beef slaughter with offal removal is $200 excluding GST as at 2026, and offal removal alone is $30.00 excluding GST as at 2026.
Customers describe the work as precise and efficient, with steaks vacuum packed and everything clearly labelled. They praise the sausages, kransky and Swiss roll, and say the steaks cook well. Communication is the mixed point: one customer felt they had not been told all the cut options, and that the online order form was not mentioned until later. The business has a reputation for value for money and friendly service, and it offers gluten and preservative-free products. The premises and equipment are cleaned daily.
