IMPORTANT INFO & REMINDERS
- For the 2024-2025 season, whole hide-on deer, elk, moose, and big game trim need to be brought to the Parshall plant. The Garrison plant will accept boneless deer trim only.
- We will NOT be accepting deer quarters or skinned (hide off) deer. We will only be accepting hide-on whole deer and boneless trim.
- Boneless elk trim (no quarters) will be accepted at the Parshall plant.
- Finished orders that have been processed at the Parshall plant can be delivered back to the Garrison plant for pick up upon request.
- A $100 per deer deposit is required for all orders with whole deer or big game. Boneless trim orders require a $50 deposit.
- We keep your animal separate from others in all stages of processing.
- The carcass tag MUST accompany the deer/trim to the processor.
- Please take special care of your animal especially if you are hunting in warm weather. They can spoil quickly if not cooled properly. Take the guts out immediately! We will not accept any animal that has not been field dressed.
- Please keep your animal clean! We reserve the right to refuse any product that is overly dirty. We do not have time or resources to pick excessive hair/dirt/leaves off of the meat. You get your own meat back so please treat it like the meat you want to put on your grill to eat.
- Lead fragments in venison have become a concern for hunters and processors. We take extra precautions when processing wild game to minimize your exposure to lead in the meat, and also encourage you to be mindful in handling the carcass in order to reduce the possibility of lead fragments.
- The minimum batch size for each type (flavor) of sausage ordered is 20 pounds – this includes snack sticks.
- A 5 pound minimum (wet weight) is recommended if ordering venison jerky.
- Please order only one flavor of venison jerky per deer.
- All sausage prices include beef, pork, cheese and potatoes according to our regular recipe proportions—requests for special beef/pork proportions may incur additional charges.
- Special seasoning requests and proportions cost an additional $0.25/pound.
- Please be considerate of our freezer space and pick up your order as soon as possible after being notified processing is complete. If your order is not picked up within in 10 days of notification, a $50 storage fee may be added.
- Wild game will be accepted through November 30, 2024.
- For anyone getting late-season game, we will also accept boneless trim January 15-31, 2025.
WHOLE ANIMALS
Below are a few tips for keeping the animal carcass cool until you’re able to bring it in to be processed:
- After field dressing, fill cavity with ice to cool it off quickly.
- Spread rib cage and prop open to allow body head to escape and deer to cool thoroughly.
- Hang somewhere cool if possible – garage, shed, etc.
- Do NOT store in covered pickup bed!
TRIM
Please keep the following items in mind if you are bringing in boneless trim:
- Be extra diligent in trimming away any damaged or dirty meat before bagging
- Do NOT use scented bags
- Limit the amount of meat in each bag to about 15# if possible
- Bring trim in sturdy, disposable boxes
- Do NOT bring trim in coolers or totes that are valuable to you – we are not responsible for the return of those items!
