Client Review on The Meat Market

Feedback:

Both of my experiences have been really awful here. The first time the almost crushed my very small and extremely valuable suckling pigs out of pure airheadness- opening the door the the kill room allowing two huge pigs to ram there way into my smaller cage and nearly crushing my (extremely valuable) pigs to death. They then screamed prodded and kicked the larger hogs out (not without a struggle with 3 grown men) They ruined my crate, never apologized, didn't give me any discount on the pigs and tried to make excuses and defend there errors.I did not want to return but my new regular processor didn't have a date for me when I need a couple of pigs processed. So...the second time they told me the right date but wrong day. Even though they knew it was me they ( the guys who's pigs they almost crushed) they denied allowing me to be 10 minutes late AFTER telling me the wrong day. Once again instead of compromising or apologizing the woman, Michelle, TOLD me what the gentleman I talked to said to me, which was wrong. She then said " you brought your pigs in last time on a tuesday didn't you?" as if I was supposed to remember there kill schedule from 4 months earlier, and the only time I went. In addition to my personal experiences, the fact that they don't have separate stalls for animals, meaning your pigs, for example, are grouped with other unknown pigs, stressing them and allowing them to fight with each other, is a big factor. Finally seeing how they handled a pig in the wrong place (on top of mine in a small crate) by shocking, kicking and screaming is a definite deal breaker. Not only will I never bring my livestock there again I will go out of my way to encourage others to choose a different processor than the meat market in Baraboo.Extremely
