I don't have the equipment or the time to fully process my deer. I take mine down to quarters, backstraps, tenderloins and loose meat. I took a spike I shot this year to my processor and told him to cut it into steaks and tenderize them, whatever is left grind it up and add beef fat. It was 33 pounds of bone in meat that I dropped off. I picked it up the next week for 54 dollars. It's worth it to me to let them do it.

Every year i say I'm going to quit doing them myself and just pay someone to do it. The prices yall are posting say that I will indeed continue to do it myself!
I can take one from quarters to vac sealed in 2 hours. That is steaks, stew, jerky slices, and individual bags of rougher cuts to grind or slow cook. I prefer to wait and do summer sausage or snack sticks in 50# batches when I have time. It is quite time consuming to grind, mix, stuff, and smoke.Comment
