Start doing your own, it's not that hard. Initial investment is minimal and before you know it you'll be making sausage and lots of other good stuff. Haven't paid a processor in almost 50 years.
I consider it part of the hunt. How many hours, start to finish, to process one complete deer? I'm talking about blending sausage, tenderizing back strap, grinding, packaging, etc. Approx 2 hours to break it down cut steaks, roasts and grind meat. The next day set up grinder and make hamburger 70/30 mix with pork shoulder. Make breakfast sausage 50/50 mix with pork shoulder and high mountain original breakfast sausage seasoning. If I'm making snack sticks that is from hamburger meat at a later date. While I'm deboning and cutting my wife is running the vacuum packer and labeling with a sharpie. Lots of youtube info on how to process one. So, you're looking at about 8 total hours to do all that, plus the cost of spices and pork shoulder...........I make way too much $ to not pay the man to do it for me.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

So, what do you think a fair price is for 8 hours of work and cost of extras and supplies.

Just picked up my first deer from Griggers in Gordon and it was some of the best jalapeno sausage I've had.

I generally have 4 quarters made into jalapeno/cheese sausage by Kuby's in Dallas each year. It's a sad day at home when we finish the last links.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

Any body know of a processor near Palestine that makes a really really good German style sausage?
I just cant seem to get the knack for a proper sausage. Years ago in Ft. Worth, Kleins was my go to spot. Ive never found anyone that makes a sausage as good as they did.
