Meat cutter lost my MOOSE! **UPDATE, MOOSE FOUND**

Ive had this happen to me with a cow. They than had the nerve of telling me its my fault, that someone picked it up already and i need to get my #### straight. They call me an hour later and voila, it miraculously appeared. They appoligized and threw in some jerky, but I still dont go back there. I was so ####ing pissed that I was told to "get my #### straight". The place is under new management im told.

I Live in Lumsden. Anyone local knows the place

Yeah, seems like no body really gives a damn any more. Hopefully they will sort it out. I'm think they must have given it to some else that had a moose in getting cut up at the same time.

Seems like complete incompetence on the burchers part.

The place I get mine done. You get a invoice number that matches up with the animal brought in. Hard to scam them out of a load of meat if you have no invoice or invoice number.

If they did give it out. They owe you more than just your money back. An animal the size of a moose is a LOT of meat. And a lot of work involved getting it.
 
If you are in business long enough and have employees, the odd disaster is going to happen. It's too bad your moose is gone and hopefully the business owner makes it right by replacing the meat with beef or something else of your liking.

So went to pick up my moose from the local Butchers tonight and they can't find it. The guy (butcher) called me this AM and said it's ready for pick up, told him I'd be there at 5:30 PM. So I get there at around 5:30 and pay the cashier for the cutting and then the kid can't find my moose.
What to do????

That blows. Just reinforces my decision to not have anyone else butcher my meat. Hope it works out for you.
 
Worst I have had with a butcher was I think they switched our meat with somone elses. Where I shot it. There was no broken bones. The sausages we had the small doe made into, many of them had bone fragments in them from what I presume were ribs (smallish where you could see where the center of the bone was). Either that or the butcher was crap. Either way we stopped using them.

Once took a pig to a local butcher; two days later he calls and says it's ready. Ready? it takes over a week to make hams, how is it ready? Oh, he sold my farm raised pig, was giving me pre packaged frozen stuff he get's in boxes and couldn't understand why we were mad.

Coincidentally immediately after that we purchased the tools we needed to butcher our meat ourselves.

That butcher shop wouldn't have been located in Strathmore, AB would it?

I'm pretty sure I've used the same butcher, after spending forever cleaning the hairs off my moose, I got it back from them with tonnes of hairs everywhere.
 
Depending on the laws of the Province, it may be an offence to be in possession of someone else's game. If the owner can't find it on the spot, a police report would be a fine way to put some pressure on them. That moose cost you a fair bit of money and time - butcher is responsible for fixing that.
 
All worked out fine in the end. Apparently it was put in the milk cooler for lack of room in the regular freezers. Looks like it will be moose rib steak tonight :) :)

Well thank goodness. You can't exactly replace what would have been lost.
