It was $50 last season here in SW Texas but he upped his prices this year to $65.

He does a great job if I don't have the time but I still prefer to do my own.

He does make some great snack stick and breakfast sausage though, and I have never taken the time to learn how to do that.

I don't have the time, place or desire to cutone up. Here in CO a basic cut by the best cost you about $70 and elk is about $100. Last year I spent about $800 total in processing costs but i also had alot to work with. My sons elk yielded 381 lbs. of boneless meat, several very large mule deer bucks and a couple of nice antelope. Filled up both of my freezers and my brother in laws.

I do most of the prossesing myself. I save the scraps and take them to the butcher to get some stuff made. (summer sausage, hot dogs, sweet sticks, hot sticks, etc.)

Southern Buck

I do the dirty work myself

John Deer

I take it to the processor.

I butcher my deer myself but I get the sausage made for me. One day I hope to get into sausage making myself. I just have to get a power grinder because my hand grinder gives me nothing but trouble.

I butcher my own. It usally takes me about two hours to butcher, wrap, and label all four quarter and backstraps. It also includes clean up. Sharp knives make a HUGE difference

i take mine to a processor. the less time i have to cut meat means the more time i can spend in the field.
