Orange County Processing - Orleans, Indiana

Jessica Grooms

This was our first experience with buying a cow and having it processed. I made that clear when I the plant called and asked how we wanted our half of the cow processed. The lady who called had no issue going over the different cut options and I chose to do everything pretty “standard” because I had no idea what I was even asking for. Well, we go to pick up the meat and bring it home and it did seem like less meat than I was expecting but I know that can vary based on the cow and what not so I don’t have an issue with that. What I do have an issue with, however, is that we had no ribs. So I called and the person I spoke to said I had to specifically ask for the ribs…. Ok well no one ever told me that. So I started looking at other processing plants and discovered that’s how they all work. You have to specify to get short ribs, flank steak, stew meat, bones and organs. I just find it strange that I was never asked about organs or bones, yet I got them and somehow the part was completely skipped about if I wanted the flank, stew meat and short ribs, which I absolutely wanted and did not get. The lady I spoke with said “well they don’t have much meat anyways”. That’s nice. I would have appreciated having the entire half of the cow I paid for or at least been given the option. I will be finding a different place for the future and I would be wary of using these people if you are wanting to get all the meat you paid for. They must have been having a short rib cook out for the family and needed some extras.

PSA: Avoid Orange County Processing in Orleans, IN!

Terrible customer service, even worse meat cuts and quality of packaging.

Pictures are of "boneless sirloin steaks" with bones. (Processing charges are based on weight.) Loose packaging looks like a small child wrapped the meat.

Would give ZERO stars, but rating required at least one.

We just had a half of beef processed there. When we picked up the meat it didn't seem like enough. We weighted it once we got it home. We only received 160 lbs of beef out of our 514 lbs side of beef. We called and asked them about it. They said the beef was a little lean and they only got 51% usable product off the side.

We told them they only gave us 160 lbs of beef not 250 lbs and they said we received what we should have. We told them you just told us we should have gotten 250 lbs of beef even though we expected closer to 300 but you only gave us 160 lbs. They had nothing to say except, you received what you should have.

We will never go back there. Never. We get a 1/2 of beef every other year, but will never use them again.

We have ordered a half of a cow for many years and have always gotten between 250 and 300 lb's of meat. This year was the first time we used Orange county processing. We only received 150 lb's of meat. Almost a $1,000 for 150 lb's of meat is insane!! We will never use them again and I feel very cheated! We work hard for what we have and that's a lot of money to lose!!

We got what we ordered, and the staff is friendly. Not sure what is going on with the roast. The last few were mainly bone, and we always have to cook two to get enough meet. Meet taste good, but just confused about the large bones and little amount of meat.

Have used them for several years. Great customer service.
Meat is package the way we ordered it. They work well with the people that I have sold beef to on getting there information and getting there processing done correctly.

I've used this place a few times now for processing beef. They cut and pack it how i like. Friendly staff load it all up in my car for me every time. Just remember to bring cash since there is a 2% upcharge for paying by card
