I've got packer brisket here, cheaper than anywhere else be seen. Also done bone-in prime rib roast for New Years and it was the best roast I've had to date. Also picked up beef plate (spare) ribs for a price too low to post. He normally has seasoned beef jerky both smoked and for sale as raw. Take it home and smoke it on your own smoker! I no longer buy store bought jerky, doesn't even remotely come close. If you want very high quality meat and seafood but at an extremely reasonable price, this is your place!

I stuff my own sausage from time to time and these expensive sausage links didn't make the grade. These sausages were very dense and flavorless. Truly disappointing. I purchased a few other items that were absolutely stellar. Just what I expected. Top cuts of Buffalo. My Buffalo T-Bone steaks were amazing coming off of my smoker. Take a pass on their Italian Sweet Buffalo Sausage. It was just Buffalo meat in a casing, no seasoning at all. That's were they lost one star.

Update: The…read moremanager(s) are doing what they can to make this right. That alone earns stars back as they didn't just ignore me. They no longer process "bone in" cuts for cow shares, and admitted I should have been told of all of this. They also apologized for the roasts/hunks of meat disguised as roasts, and again- are willing to try and make it right. They've earned my respect for that alone. I'm leaving my original review up only for educational purposes. ****** Ordered 1/2 a cow from a farm that uses this company as their butcher. I had simple requests- bone in steaks, roasts instead of stew meat/ground beef and canoe cut bones (one extra horizontal cut) for My dog. More than half the "roasts" appear to be chunks of mismatched beef shoved into webbed bags (which give the beef an off taste when cooked) leaving me with chunks instead of roasts to smoke. The steaks- all boneless (I can live with this if if was the only mistake) The bones- not even attempted to do as asked. If it had just been that and the steaks- I could have dealt. But the roast issue? Pretty not ok. I spent way too much on this beef for this to happen. If you messed up- and didn't follow my request- why not communicate ahead of time. I now have to find a new vendor for beef next year because I'm not sure I want to deal with this again.
