Worst butchering experience We’ve ever come across. We paid to have a cow butchered and nothing we have opened has been right or even butchered cleanly. We asked for 3 steaks per package, and what we received was one giant slab of meat wasn’t a steak with a giant bone in the center. I opened up a “Butter Roast” (2-3lbs), thawed it only to find a large bone in the middle with ribs throughout. I was making a pot roast that evening and needed extra meat so I thawed an “Arm Roast” (2-3lbs) only to find after it was thawed, that 3/4 of it was fat and bone. A bone almost as large as my hand.

Place could use some customer service and a update to get out of the stone age. IRS should check out this cash only business. Its a big...

Did not get meat processed here myself, but received a couple packages of venison jalapeno cheese brats from a family member that they had made here. After cooking some, I noticed that one of them had a strange bit of white on the inside, with red liquid bubbling up under the casing. Thinking it was some bit of the deer that wasn't supposed to have ended up in there, I cut it open to remove from the brat. I pulled out a COUGH DROP WRAPPER. A quick sniff told me that the red liquid had been a cherry cough drop. I can't imagine what else might make it into their meat if their food safety standards are lax enough for a cough drop to make it into a...
