Hayes Farm

Me and my buddy gave them shot couple days a go if they care about their business; the end up treating us real bad. Beside they don’t listen or talk to you properly as a customer or they don’t care about customer service at all. We spend over $ 1600 still they were ready or taking our money more than anything else. There are about three brothers working there but one is not any better than the other ones when it comes to customer service. What’s funny I keep telling him I am here to get a bull but keep showing me a goats; they were pushing us to buy what they want us to buy not our choice.
The worse customer service you can ever imagine.

This is an animal processing plant so don’t expect it to smell like a rose garden. They hold animals in pens and (SHOCK!) the animals poop and pee in the pens and yes, you can smell it if the wind is blowing right. Inside, the place is well-​lit, clean, well-​staffed with butchers and their prices are great.
I take my backyard chickens there to be processed. They kill, pluck, gut and pack them for only $ 2 each! Bring your own baggies if you want the meat put in baggies, otherwise, you may get plastic grocery store bags or something.
Yes, most of the workers there are Hispanic but if you check, there is always someone on hand that can speak English. Be polite and if you know any Spanish at all, give it a go and my experience has been that they’ll meet you more than half way. Most of the guys working the lines know SOME English. Don’t let that scare you away.
They also sell primal cuts of beef, pork, chicken, lamb and goat. Again, this is NOT a grocery store, it’s a slaughter house or in the old days, an «Abattoir.»

I liked this place better back in the late ’90’s than I do today. I just made a trip over there and they tried charging me $ 6 a lb for goat meat. Wow. Back then you could go in the back and pick your own pieces, and they used to post a price list. There is no price list and they blurt out high prices.
It is still as unsanitary as ever, and business appeared to be really slow. They’ve been in business for years and do not even have a valid website up. The counter lady doesn’t trust you, so she marks all your bills. Everyone there speaks in Spanish.
Some of the animals were treated badly, many of them are infected with skin diseases and breakouts and penned in very very tiny cages with no food or water.
When he saw that I was about to walk out he lowered the price to about $ 4 a lb and put it in a Walmart bag.
When I got it home there were a few live knat looking bugs in the bag. Also, after I boiled the goat I ended up throwing it away because I saw in the pot what looked to be WORMS coming out of the goat meat from the heat. With the sanitation issue and poor condition of the animals there, It didn’t surprise me that the goat meat was infested w/​worms.
