When will my order be ready?

When will my order be ready?
When you drop off your deer, we take your order and give you an orange pick-up card with your Ready Date. Your order will be ready on that day. You don't need to call and check or wait on us to call you. We'll call you in the unlikely event that it won't be ready on time. We try to place a reminder call, but please don't wait on it!
Most of our customers pick up their orders on time and we appreciate it! It is important that you pick up your order on the Ready Date or as quickly as possible after that day. We are just not setup to be a storage locker. We have very limited freezer space and have to make room for the hundreds of new orders coming in every week.
We'll store your orders for free for 7 days. Orders left more than 1 week after the pickup date will be subject to a $1.00 per day storage fee. After 30 days, your order will be donated to charity. However, you are still responsible for payment of the processing fee. We have to be firm on this or close the gates out front because we won't have room for new deer! Please help us by coming to get your finished order quickly!

Welcome to Cordray's Blog!

Hello, Friends!
We've added lots of new folks in the last few weeks, so please excuse me if you've been a longtime friend and I'm repeating myself! We run a wild game processing business from August 15th to January 1st and this year the emphasis is on the "wild" side!  We've been hard at work processing alligators for hunters participating in SC's second alligator season. You may have seen Kenneth in the Post and Courier and Michael on TV talking about the huge gators we've been processing.  If you'd like to see pictures of the three 12 footers that have come in over the last few weeks plus some really big bucks, scroll on down to all the photos below.  I also post recipes sent in by our readers for beef, venison, pork and alligator meat. If you have one you'd like to add, please send it in! You'll also see pictures and information from the retail beef store that's open full time during the fall. We have fresh and frozen beef cuts and Beef Shares available every day.
Hopefully the blog will help you get to know us a little better and help answer questions you may have. If it doesn't, shoot me an email and I'll try to find an answer for you. Thanks for joining us!
Claudia
