I called before hand and spoke with the owner. After talking with him a while I asked if they gave Veteran discounts and was told they did. "We'll work something out for you, I'm a Navy Vet myself." I was stoked! I had my very first hunt ever and bagged a beautiful cow. My friends helped skin and 1/4 her and we dropped her off. We were told we'd probably get about 6 roasts some steak and a bunch of burger. I was totally cool with that.
I was called out of town for work, the holidays, and bad weather kept me from going right back up but was told it was not a problem at all. This was my fault and mine alone. But to be told it was no problem meant they were fine with it too.
When I drove back (from Albuquerque) they brought it 2 bags and told us to have a great day. I got home and my son asked hey, why does this bag say 1/3 and this one says 3/3? I called and of course they said they didn't have it. Then they realized their mistake. They'd given my meat to someone else! My wife called because I was a little angry, and was told they were so sorry and they would give us 25 2 pound packages of hamburger because we missed 24 of chili ground and 1 hamburger. "We're so sorry, will throw some extras in because it was our mistake!" They offered to call that guy and make him bring all of my meat back (he'd already given it to friends and family), but who knows how it was handled?
I got exactly 25 2 pound packages of someone else's meat. No idea how it was handled in the field. No roasts, very few steaks. When I asked about the Veteran discount I was told "sorry, not this year, maybe we can do something for you next year."
Oh, and by the way, 2 pound packages are actually 1.8 pounds. So in 50 pounds they skim 5 free pounds for themselves. They cheated me out of 10% of my meat!!! I paid them and fed them. Total BS.
I will never, ever (no not ever) use or recommend this processor to anyone at all. I wish they made it possible to give a negative start rating.
