We had a hog from the Fair in 2018 and had it processed at this place, only because it was close. Had another hog processed by them 4 yrs earlier, so I thought I knew what to expect. Either they are under new management, or are not honest, cannot B4 sure - All I know is that, the hog 2018 was much larger than the one 4 yrs prior, and I received WAY less meat. I called them about my bacon, per others, I should have had a lot more, asking if maybe one of their 'grocery bags' of my meat was not given to me, and after SEVERAL calls, finally got an answer of 'no'.

This is that absolute worst processing of an animal I have ever seen. I worked in a meat department for a major chain grocery store for 25 years,and I know a lot about meat cutting- This place SUCKS. I will NEVER use them , and I will advise others to go elsewhere-...

I received 5 roasts "I guess my deer had an extra shoulder " the meat was not trimmed, still has a bone in it and hair all over it. The roasts aren't even edible. It all went into the trash. So if you actually want to eat your deer, find a...
Read moreThey were a little grumpy but it is peak deer season. Still, as a new customer I would like to be able to ask questions without getting sarcasm. Update** There will always be people that feel like they didn't get enough deer meat back. I have butchered my own and I have had deer butchered. I have personally been shorted at places but Davidsons did provide me all of my meat and I think they did a better job than I do at harvesting as much as...
