1 /5 Robbin ZOBEL: First time using Meridian Locker and will be our last. Took a corn fed cow there and got back less that 26% of weight.
Was charged vacuum seal charge for all meat but 4 out of 8 boxes were hamburger and were packaged in plastic bags (no seal) Be more clear on your charges
Prices compared to the previous facility we used (which was much cleaner) for tenderize,stew,patties was $2.00 vs .50 ; $2.50 vs $1.00 ; $3.00 vs 1.00 ; slaughter fee higher. All around everything was more expensive.
How can you take a steer for processing that weighed 1125 lbs./hanging 615 / packaged 360 at the other facility and the one going to Meridian weight 1330 lbs/ hanging 750 / packaged 367 lbs. We ended up with 7 lb difference on a 205 more lb. steer.
Lesson learned! So very disappointed. The only explanation I got was we have to pay our employees. We will opt to make the drive down the road a little further.
