re: Good deal on Deer Processing...
Posted by thesausageshed on 10/23/13 at 5:36 pm to fishfighter
I really wasn't trying to justify my prices...I was simply trying to show why the cost can get so high. I wasn't trying to sway anyone to my business, it is a part time business that consumes more of my hunting time than I ever intended it to. But I know from past experience a lot of these guys are cheap because they cut corners...things such as batch processing. I am just an average Joe that had a couple bad experiences with processors that decided to open a shop that treated customers fair and give them a superior product. Sorry if I rustled anyones feathers.

I am not trying to get into a Pissing match on how much it cost to make sausage. I know lots of people that make their own, and I think that's great. But I also know the cost involved in running the business. It takes a lot of product to replace a commercial vacuum packer, a commercial grinder, stuffer, etc when they break. I think the biggest draw to a processor is the quality of the product and the convenience factor. Have a great day and good luck guys.

We are actually cheaper than the 5 processors closest to us. All our items come vacuum packaged and labeled similar to what you would get if you bought smoked sausage from the grocery store. What some people fail to realize is the added cost to making sausage...seasoning, casing, vacuum bags, wear and tear on equipment.

Someone brings a 120lb doe in to be processed...assuming a 35lb yield. 35lbs of deer + 35 lbs of pork times $2.99lb(that's assuming they just want regular fresh sausage) puts the order at approximately $210. Most of our customers order some specialty sausage which cost more..things like andouille, spinach and feta sausage, jalapeno and cheese sausage, jerky, tamales, etc....which normally puts them in the $300 range.

You supply your own pork? I own The Sausage Shed...and with pork prices, seasoning, casing, and vacuum bags he had to lose money. Depending on what you get done, $300 is a pretty standard amount of most orders. If you don't process your own game, it can be expensive, but you get what you pay for.
