    Deer Processors: The Good, Bad and Ugly

    Found a thread from 2016 with great recommendations - could not find one general thread that was more recent.

    Please post all of your favorites across Texas and any that need to be avoided as well.

    I use Hunters Choice in Sanger. They do a great job and their breakfast sausage is the best I have had. I also have used Old Plantation Meats in Springtown. They do a really good job as well. Not a fan at all of Kubys in Dallas. Went there one time and the meat tasted horrible. Wound up throwing it all away.

          I'm gonna process my own this year unless its a Wall Hanger so I can get him caped. That being said I have never had a problem with and have always recommended Whitakers in Iowa Park. If it's not to far of a drive though Bayco in Seymour is know around here as the Best!

            It got so bad in the last couple of years I am doing my own. I get a great product at much less cost. I took advantage of big discounts during Covid to buy my equipment. In it for less than $600. 2.5hp stainless grinder, stainless mixer, and a stainless stuffer. Pan sausage costs me about $.45/lb. Link is $1.00/lb without cheese. Cheese adds another $1.00/lb. Sometimes need some pork fat or brisket which can add to prices too.

              My favorite Klemkes in Slaton (near Lubbock) burned down a few years ago. Last year I used Fortsons in Waco and they were pretty good. Sub'd to hear other suggestions though. Always hard to find someone on a Sunday night when I need it.

                      I`ll agree with JT`s being great. Been using them since they opened along with lots of my friends and family.

                        Primo Processing in Hondo is my top pick. All of the below are also good, some have better items than others.

                        Ottea's in San Antonio.
                        Koepp's in New Braunfels.
                        Granzin's in New Braunfels.
                        Penshorn's in Marion.

                            Here are my recommends and some questions I have.

                            I've been using Kuby's in Dallas (good experiences for me to date), Ye Ole Butcher Shoppe in Plano, Fischer's in Muenster as my go to's in North Texas. These are all very good.

                            I'm wondering if anyone here has used Hirsch's Meat Market in Plano?

                            Looks like I need to try Cinnamon Creek Ranch in Roanoake based on their reviews from 2016.

                            I have not tried Bayco's in Seymour but have heard nothing but good things.

                            A friend from DFW area is looking for something near Waco. Sounds like Forston's was a good choice 5 years ago. Let him know about recommendations for JT's in Stephenville as well.

                              My processor is slow, sometimes sloppy, temperamental when standing for too long, and drinks too much of my beer while he is supposed to be processing.
                              But the price is right.
