We will do
whatever we can to continue to provide quality products to
our customers during this time of rebuilding. Thank you
for all your kind words and support. If you'd like to send
comments, you can send them via
email here.
We especially want to thank the
firefighters of the 12 different fire departments that were
on scene as well as the four other departments involved with
"move ups" to stand by at other fire stations. Over 100
animals were saved and no one was injured. Again, thank you
very much for your assistance.
We will try to
do a chronological record of the rebuilding at Wenneman Meat
Company. We deeply value all our past
customers and wish to see them again soon, as well as pick
up new customers.
