‘Ello all,
As prices of processing her higher and the cuts get worse (at least at my local place) I’m starting to think the time I save taking it to a processor isn’t worth the money anymore.
I processed a deer once in 10 years and that was only because it was too small to make paying someone else to process it, worth the money.
With all that out of the way, what are some tips and tricks you’ve learned to make the job easier for you? I probably won’t make sausage or anything and I don’t have a grinder at the moment so it will probably just be steaks and and chunks for grinding later (or for stew) wrapped in butcher paper.
Edit: apparently butcher paper and freezer paper are two different thing. I’ve been talking about freezer paper but calling it butcher paper.
Edit 2: y’all, thanks for your advice! The idea here is to keep the whole process as far under $100 as possible, that means buying as little or as cheaply as possible. If I spend close to $100 I might as well just go to a processor.
