Sailer’s Meats has earned national and international acclaim for its products with several awards over the years. Recently the group received six awards in the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Meat Product Auction at the Wisconsin State Fair, including first reserve in flavored bacon, bone-in ham, dried or smoked beef and specialty cooked bratwurst.

Sailer’s was also recognized in the nationwide American Cured Meat Championships held in Alabama by the American Association of Meat Processors.
