I shot a 150# sow on October the sixth. I processed it myself. First I skinned it. Then I cut it up and wrapped and put it in the freezer. It's a lot of work, but due to the problems in finding anybody around here that will do it I don't really have any other options.

Dude, did they cut it up or actually process it?

The doe I shot at the end of last year cost $119 and it was all sausage....44 pounds total. She was cut up when I took her in.

I aint touching them if I can help it. A deer here aint but $62, counting skinning, for HB and CS. And that is after going up $15 in the last 3 years.

I have never used a processor. I like doing it all myself. There's a sense of pride in doing it all from field to freezer to table.

But I guess if I stacked em up like cord wood as some of you can do, I'd get tired of all the work. ;D

I butchered a hog ONE TIME in my kitchen and I thought my wife was gonna butcher me. It looked like I murdered someone when I was finished.

I use a processor for ground meat. I'll cut all my steaks and roasts myself but I take all my scrap meat to a processor.

He charges me $0.40 per pound of burger.

$50 for standard cuts. Sausage runs extra:$1.89 per pound for the Boston Butt added to it. I usually have them mix in 40 to 50%.
