Cordray Brothers Alligator Sausage Dip recipe

  Cordray Brothers Alligator Sausage Dip

1 pack of Cordray Brothers Alligator Sausage
1 can of mild Rotel tomatoes, undrained
8 oz. of softened cream cheese (or Velveeta Cheese)

Brown the sausage meat until fully cooked. Combine together sausage, cheese,  and can of tomatoes. Melt and mix in microwave until thoroughly mixed.  You may keep it warm in a crock pot on low for a party mix. Can also be made with any Cordray Brothers sausage in venison or pork. If you enjoy extra spicy, Rotel offers a hot flavored tomato mix as well.

Free alligator head mount on a 14 foot alligator!

We've never seen a 14 foot alligator taken in SC. If you get one, bring it to Cordray's for processing and taxidermy and Kenneth will do the skin-on head mount for FREE!

(Or give you $400 credit towards a rug or full body mount.)

24 hours until you can catch your own big lizard!

Nice note we received today...

"I picked up a share today meat looks fantastic and my kids loved seeing the chickens and playing with the dog:)  Thank you for the hospitality.  Will surely be back."


We'll be open  9 am to 10 pm Monday - Saturday. On this Sunday we open twice, once from 9am to noon, and then again 6 pm to 10 pm. These Sunday morning hours are only until Oct. 6th during alligator season. Stop by and see us and you just might catch sight of a BIG alligator! We have plenty of free range eggs, Cordray Farms beef cuts, burger, summer sausage, jerky and beef snack sticks. Link sausage and applewood smoked bacon are available too.
