First calf that we had processed was very good. Then we gave them the next calf and when picking the meat up we only ended up with just barely 300 lbs, What I asked is this. This calf was almost the same weight as the first, same breed same quality health as the first and we got almost 600 lbs from that steer. Good Lord, where was the rest of it? Not taking another back to them at all. The word I've always heard that if the butcher sales meat then don't use em. Well, they sell plenty of meat so I'm assuming someone really enjoyed my wife and I's hard work in raising that calf. Needless to say my son n law was not happy and I'm done with them!
Got a quarter of a beef a friend had slaughtered there. His meat was fine, ours was not fit to eat, very gamey with extremely small steaks from a supposedly full sized beef.
January 2016 Snapp's Ferry had a recall for their beef that made several people critically ill. The FSIS Dept. of Ag did research do to the customers illness's and traced it back to Snapp's Ferry Processing. 5 lb packages were recalled back in Nov, 20th 2015 do to E.coli. You can google this yourself for additional information. The meat tested positive for e.coli. Now ask yourself are you willing to have your livestock processed here and take the chance of your family becoming critically ill? We took our steer in before we knew of this event..we weighed him before taking him in because they don't have a live weight scale..isn't that convenient. He went in at 1135 lbs and after processing we got 279 lbs worth of meat! Upon going in ..did you notice their meat counter where they sell beef..where do you think they get that meat? Do you think they are going out and buying a calf to put in their meat counter? Not a chance. they have been accused per google reviews that at times they loose a whole calf..or a whole hog..and have even lost a whole deer !Wow what a coincidence that they sell meat..and loose whole calves? Now whats the chances of that. I would not recommend ANYONE using Snapp's Ferry, well unless you don't mind e.coli or eating someone else's calf ..or looking at the meat in the counter knowing the meat in it is most likely yours.
Not very happy with the processing of a steer. I requested an appointment, made sure I would be able to have it processed that day, but when I showed up,they had animals packed in holding pens with sheep, pigs, and culled cows with hardly no standing room left. I dropped it off anyway. I told them how I wanted it cut, and while I was there I overheard one of the employees say.... "We can't hold anymore" This concerned me a little. Once I picked my beef up a week or so later, I got home and the T-bones had been frost bitten. I called back to speak with a lady that just said..." Our shrink wrapper just doesn't vacuum pack it well." I am about halfway through the freezer with this beef, and I am beginning to see that more than likely, I got part of someone else's beef also. I am not sure what happened that week there, but a 90 day grained steer should be much better than the trash in my freezer. I will not use them again.
I just have I say that they have the best beef jerky and best steak ! The homemade sausage is very delicious too!!!!
