[QUOTE="calfmomma, post: 1690872, member: 40242"] I am currently on a will call list along with 20 or so other people in my area. This will call list leaves 2- 5 animal spaces open each cycle at our locker. Its first come first serve, and I have learned if my husband calls we have no chance of getting a date! LOL We typically set out 3 dates for the year and 2 animals per date- I booked in another appt just a few days ago. 5 tips I have learned for the local lockers: [B]1[/B].Learn everyones name- the butcher, the processors and the office gals [B]2.[/B]Call as soon as they open or right before they close- don't bother leaving a message [B]3.[/B]Back up your trailer to the chute with the skills of a ninja and have gates ready to pop. [B]Number 4[/B] is something I cannot change- send your wives, girlfriends, daughters- that butcher shop owner is gonna like a confident farm chick! Chances are they have a little girl at home too. My husband hates this factoid... [B]5.[/B] Show up to pick up beef at max 2 days after they call- we all think they cannot get animals in because they are overbooking, but what about Johnny Townsperson City Slicker who takes up freezer space for 3 weeks or bounces a check. Freezer space is a big issue too. [/QUOTE]
