What you can find here
- Deer and wild game processing
- Shops that take hunters' deer, by county. Some are confirmed wild game processors. Others are lockers worth a phone call in November.
- Custom beef and hog
- Processors that cut and wrap your animal for the freezer. This is what most small town lockers do, and it is who you call when you buy a half beef from a neighbor.
- USDA and state inspected shops
- Every listing shows its inspection level. That matters if you plan to sell the meat, and it tells you which rules the shop works under.
- Processors that accept donated venison
- Six states run programs where you can donate a deer and the meat goes to food pantries. In most cases the processing costs the hunter nothing.
How listings are verified
Listings come from government inspection records, so the shop is real and licensed. What a shop actually offers day to day takes more work: owner confirmations, phone calls, and checking by hand. When something is not confirmed, the listing says so instead of guessing. How listings work.
