But bringing in animals for slaughter please read below.
Last year I brought a 1500 lb Angus to be butchered. Only got back 500 lbs of cuts, butcher chargered us for saving the hide $50.
When I asked the butcher where is the rest of the meat, he told me there was 6 inches of fat on the animal.
I also asked for the fat, got very little.
If your looking to take an animal there to be butchered then buyer beware, these people are also not polite on the phone, wrapping of the meat poorly done as many packets became unsealed.
A small farmer like me has a very tight margin on having animals USDA butchered, if there is a meat missing then it literally doesn't pay to try and sell it.
I have passed on this to my farmers group, very disappointed in the service.
No one helped to load my meat out but a woman sat outside and watched me so I would not steal their meat trays.
