Deer Processing Custom Smoked Meats

 Zeb's Smokehouse  

 
 
DEER PROCESSING 2007-08 SEASON

A $50.00 deposit per deer is being asked at the time the deer is dropped off for
processing, or $1.00 a lb. for all other bone in or trim brought in for processing.

 

Before Bringing Your Deer in For Processing:
* If the air temp is above 40 degrees, get the carcass refrigerated or give us a call even if it is after hours, or on Sunday, so we can get it taken care of and in the cooler.
* Wash out the inside of the carcass and remove all hair and blood.
* Prop deer legs and cavity open to cool.
* DO NOT skin your deer. The hide helps to keep the meat clean while in transit and keeps it from drying out.
* DO NOT split the brisket or rib cage. It will reduce excess hair in the cavity.
* DO NOT cut the tendons on the back legs. We need them to hang the deer.

 

When Deboning Your Own Meat:
* After skinning, use a butane torch to singe off hairs that remain on the carcass.
* Hose carcass down inside and out or wash with water and rag.
* Remove all fat and hair.
* DO NOT soak deer meat in water.
* DO NOT grind the meat before bringing it in.
* Place deer trim in large white or clear plastic bags or clean containers. If you freeze the meat before bringing it in, remove the air from the bags.
* If you want dried venison or jerky made, leave the bone in the hind quarter.
