For the past five years we have used MKT54 and been satisfied. Even helped them out when they were in a bind. (Needed a whole pig and ours was there.) I have recommended them to everyone I have came into Contact with. Be cause they have treated us fair.
Today my wife goes to drop of our kids show animals. ( 2 daughters were heart broken) as we set the kill date in February for today for 1 goat, 1 lamb, and 2 pigs. As she gets there to drop them off she is informed that there isn't any notes about the pigs. (This wouldn't be a big deal but the soonest Kill date to bring them back is June 5th. 45 days out) Our pigs are weighing 360lb eating 8lb of feed a day. It is not feasible to feed them another 45 days.
After the being argued with and with out any solution to the problem from them. We brought our animals home.
So today when the kids get off the bus their animals are back. So we get to go through the emotions of loosing the animal they have tended to daily for the past 6 months to a year again.
I totally understand they are a busy facility and have a schedule to hold. But there is no way they could have fit in 2 pigs with in the next week or so or perhaps tried to work something out?? Weather it was them or us it was a misunderstanding and I am not blaming them or taking the credit for the mistake. But not working with us at all and being rude and unprofessional about it is unacceptable.
There are other facilities out there that will be glad to have the business that y'all don't want. read more
