WE PROCESS DEER

WE DON'T BUCK AROUND

Since we began in 2007, our deer processing business has grown tremendously due to our delicious selection of specialty products and attention to detail in custom processing. We've processed deer for people from California to Pennsylvania and many states in between that come to Mid-Missouri to hunt. Your business is very deer to us!

FACTORS AFFECTING CARCASS WEIGHT AND HOW MUCH MEAT YOU'LL GET

HOW FAT WAS THE DEER? Fatter deer yield heavier carcasses, but more fat which is trimmed off during processing.

HOW MANY TIMES WAS IT SHOT? More holes means more damage, which means more loss due to trimming.

WHERE WAS THE DEER SHOT? Rump or loin shots destroy a lot of edible meat and can ruin entire muscles.

WHERE IS THE BULLET EXIT HOLE? Where the bullet exists the deer always destroys muscle tissue.

BROKEN OR SHATTERED BONE? You lose large amounts of meat due to bone splinters in hind leg and shoulders.

WAS THE CARCASS HOT OR COLD? As deer chill, they lose moisture and their weight decreases.
