EVERYTHING we sell, we make here - that’s the story of success behind Steel’s Butchers in Wedderburn.
Cam Steel and Tammy Martin have a reputation for their gourmet selection of smallgoods that has grown a legion of returning customers for more than a decade.
Their bacon, kabana and sausages have taken out top awards at regional and state competitions and the famous Steel’s Butcher savaloys are a top-selling favourite at Wedderburn Redbacks’ home matches at Donaldson Park.
Customer service and quality have been at the heart of the business Cam bought 13 years ago and now the High Street store has extended its opening hours to serve loyal and new customers who come to Wedderburn from across the region.
From this week,  Steel’s Butchers is opening through to 5.30pm Monday to Friday and on Saturday mornings.
“We’ve had many requests over the last couple of years to extend the opening hours,” Cam said. “Our customers want that little  extra flexibility of being able to buy our quality produce ... and particularly on Saturday mornings.
“Our meats are sourced from the local region and everything we sell is made here.
“Sausages, rissoles and hamburgers are always popular along with the choice cuts of beef, lamb and pork.
“And our bacon, kabana, strasburg and savs have earned a special top spot on the shopping list of many customers.”
Cam has owned Steel’s Butcher for 13 years, the business where he did his apprenticeship with Alan and Chris Chalmers before deciding to take on the shop when the Chalmers but it up for sale.
“Tammy and I enjoy being able to work together and provide a quality service to our customers,” Cam said.
Tammy also heads to Charlton twice a week to open that town’s butchers stocked with Steel smallgoods and quality cuts prepared in Wedderburn.
Cam said customer feedback now saw the Wedderburn store also stocking fresh fruit and vegetables and eggs.
“From our fresh batches of butter chicken ready to place straight in the slow cooker or sweet beef curry - it’s super mild - Steel’s Butchers has the stock to cook up sumptuous winter warming meals and buy your snacks for the day.”
