Well I dropped a deer off at cinnamon creek to give them a try back in December. Just got a call my deer was ready (took awhile but I get it) and my balance was $95 bucks. I said man that sounds really high. I already put down a deposit of $60 which was the “processing fee” and thought that was all I had to pay. After I looked at my ticket and re read it carefully it said grinding is not included in processing fee. $155 bucks to get a deer processed is crazy for basic grinding. Usually take my deer to rendon meats and they are $80 bucks a deer but they werent taking anymore deer when I took mine which was crazy to me also. Rant over.....

Did you get beef added to it? Prices are up to almost $4/lb so maybe that’s why the hike in cost. -
Sounds pretty reasonable to me but I always have some type of sausage or special product when I get one processed and it's way more than that.Comment

sounds high to me. Maybe they make it with love.Comment

Just depends on processor... few around my area charge 50-75 just as a take in fee per deer. Just to take it and process it the charge whatever you get done is a separate price. So that price doesn’t seem pit of the norm for some places. I found a place that the take in fee include grinding anything else was extra. But lots of places won’t do that.Comment

Thought the same thing. Hopefully they did make it with love. I thought about just leaving it but I’ll do the right thing and pick it up.Originally posted by bullets13 View PostComment

Two axis does cost me $280 for ground meat. Note, I did request 10% pork added to it and steak the straps.Comment

I went to Rendon meats... $100 for a deer to be ground once on coarse with nothing added, and I asked to save the side which was an addition $10.
Hate to say it but I tried processing a deer myself also this year. It took me about 8 to 10 hours just butchering it up, I haven't even done any grinding yet. I will gladly hand over $100 for them to do it after that experience.
Don't get me wrong, I would prefer DIY, but I am limited on time. Being my first 1st time probably didn't help either though.Comment

Be glad you didn’t have any sausage made. I really like sausage so my processing gets a little pricey.Comment

In Junction, if we bring one in quartered it’s about $80, and if it’s just field dressed it’s about $100.

Just wait till you get some sausage made at $7.50 a lb.
I killed 4 deer in illinois this year. My bill was over $2000.
My son killed 3 in Coleman, another grand there.
That being said, we're set on red meat and sausage for the next 24 months or so.Comment

I do all my own and that actually sounds cheap to me. They have overhead in the building, machines, packing station. Not including cleanup when they are finished.Comment

My processor charges $90 for processing. If I take the meat de-boned that fee is waived.Comment
