Never had an issue with them, they’ve been pretty much spot on when I used them in fact.
I did switch to Lone Star in Manvel the past couple of years though, as Stanton’s prices seems a bit high. Lone Star has been decent but myself and a few others have found some stuff where their vacuum sealer didn’t seal the packs off right.
I’ll be buying what I need to process animals myself soon. Just not going to chance it anymore with how much I spend on prep and feed.
I bought my own equipment a couple of years ago. I spent around 2k but by the prices I was paying per deer the equipment has paid for itself already. I know it’s all my meat and how it was handled from the field to the freezer.

Yea I tried that LoneStar place once... Never again.. The meat was half rotten when I got it back.. And this was meat that was extremely well taken care of.. I was pizzed beyond description!!
Stanton’s will do their best to treat you right. But like said before, you asked for a coarser grind, where most link sausage is already a coarse grind. A fe years ago I took some deer and hog there and was 80% impressed. The links that I liked were the hot and jalapeño & cheese. They messed up on the “Mac n cheese” though… forgot to add the cheese. I wasn’t too concerned since it was 100% hog meat. In hindsight I would’ve taken it back, but l t it slide. I’ll still take meat there in the future.
Me too, freaks is pretty dirty and had hair and bone in too much of it to justify, did taste good though. Doreks has screwed up stuff more than once. Last time someone working there took half a nilgai backstrap. Owner tried to make it right with ribeyes. Normally do my own but don’t have a way to smoke links so I take it somewhere.
Thanks for the suggestions
In my opinion a lot of it has to do with who’s working for them at the time. I won’t name the place but I had a really good experience with a processor once, then had a few deer done another time and it was awful. I dropped a lot of money for it, and it all went to the dogs. Doe meat smelled and tasted like an old boar goat. But the crew was different that time. Looked like he had crack heads working that second time.
