I was happy with the job they did last year for me.

Most processors will give you your steaks back and then for your sausage and ground meat they will do a batch grind. It doesn't really make fiscal sense for a processor to stop production to clean their grinders and mix with pork after every deer.

In Hamilton we use Wenzell's Meat Company. They only take quartered up deer and you get your deer back. Great people too. The best Jagerwaurst on the planet.

Here at trophy Case taxidermy and Custom processing process each animal individually, even your smoked meats. We are located in Tuscola, if you are near here come give us a try! 325 261 2600

I've used one in San Saba be don't remember the name.

Very few if you are getting smoked sausage made.

Halls does great work. I also had an 8pt mount done by Hall of Fame Taxidermy in Bronte that also turned out great. You guys should try out B and B feed. They do great work. Plus you dont have to wait in line! B&B's son Eric also does Taxidermy work. His shop is in the Gainsville. He does GREAT work too.

+1 on B&B, They do great work also! And super nice people to deal with....

Santa Anna Wild Game Processing, there is a new plant opened up in 2009.The owners are real nice he's been cutting deer up in this area for 40 yrs.I promise you get your deer back. Cause i worked there and seen it first hand.there sausage is great.

Halls, Look at facebook page when you see a smoker plum full of sausage with no name on smoke stick I doubt you get your own deer back to much sausage for one deer.

Anyone else use Mike & Ed's in Cross Plains? I used them last year and it was great.

always wondered. So now we just do our own.

Its called trust! Did that years ago, but have a meat grinder from hell now so we do our own hamburger and such. If your worried about your own meat or whatever, do bizz with a local small time meat market and get to know them. Small time operations usually yield better results. I deal with a small time market in Brenham TX, and never had a problem with them. I know who im dealing with, beside do bizz with them, give them the bizz instead of some big box grocery store chain, not knocking the big locals in TX, but you know who!

Besides after doing it all these years its really not that all hard work, yes its some time but outcome is rewarding to say the least!

Just had nice spaghetti diner last night with homemade meat balls from a doe, garlic, onions, homemade sauce,
best of all, no preservatives in the meat!


get your knifes out and start sharpening them!


happy trails!

I've been doing my own including sausage/jerky etc.. For the last 4 years. Built up my assortment of equipment over the last few years. Gets easier every time. Wouldn't take one to a processor now.
