Let us help you make the most of your hunt!

All of the wild game processed at Ranchers Meats is custom cut & wrapped to meet our hunter’s specifications. We understand the hard work our customers put into their hunt and are proud to deliver the highest quality fresh and smoked meat products back to them.

Wild Game Cut & Wrap

** Tags and Hunting License must be available at the time of animal drop off **


Processing:

All wild game animals must be processed boneless

Animals should come into the shop skinned, gutted, and clean of any debris. There will be additional cost of $100 for any skinning or cleaning that has to be done in house.

Ranchers Meats reserves the right to refuse contaminated or adulterated wild game carcasses

Cut instructions will be taken and the animal will be weighed upon arrival.

At Ranchers Meats everything is vacuum sealed and frozen after processing. Ground burger or bulk sausage products will be clipper-tied in one pound or two pound chubs.

FEES: (Updated Jan. 2023)

  • There is a minimum charge of $175.00 to process wild game animals under 90lbs

  • Animals over 90lbs will be processed at $1.80/lb

  • Burger and bulk sausage products can be vacuum sealed for an additional $1.00/lb

  • Snack Sticks: $8/lb (12.5 lb minimum)

  • Bratwurst Sausage: $5.69/lb (12.5 lb minimum)

  • Jerky: $8/lb

Please follow the links below for pricing and sausage flavors.

Cold Storage Fees:

Wild game animals tend to lack the fat cover necessary for cooler aging. Therefore, we like to get your hunt on the block and packaged within 5 - 7 days after drop off.

If our cooler space allows it, customers may request a longer hang time for an additional charge.

  • 2 Week Hang Fee: $35

  • Hang Only: $20/ Day (Hang only fees are applied to wild game that will be occupying cooler space but not getting processed in our facility)

Customers will have 10 business days to pick-up their meat after receiving the notification that it is ready. After 10 days, a $10/Day Freezer Storage Fee will be incurred.
