Hamilton Meats — Local services in Weatherford

We set up a date to get a calf processed 6 months in advance, because that is how far out they were scheduling. We picked the calf that we thought would be ready at the right time, put it up and fed it every day so it would be ready when the time came. Then about 2 weeks before our date to get it processed, they let us know that they would have to move the date out another 90 days because they did not have enough freezer room.

Sounds like they don't know where their meat comes from... Very disappointing. Thought we were doing the right thing by buying from a...

One man removes his hat, scratches his head then returns to handling raw meat. Another man carries a box of meat outside to a customer, opens the door everyone else’s touches to come in to the store and jumps right in handling raw meat with the same pair of gloves he walked out with. Not to mention those same people handling the meat, adds up the total on a calculator, writes the ticket, handles money, answers the phone ALL WITH THE SAME GLOVES GO RIGHT BACK TO HANDLING THE RAW MEAT. COVID-19 or not, it’s not a very clean way to...
