Good to know

How much does deer processing cost?

Basic processing typically runs $75-150 — skinning, butchering and standard cuts. Specialty work like sausage, jerky or European mounts is priced per pound or per item on top. Prices vary by region and shop, so call ahead.

What is hanging weight?

Hanging weight is the weight of a slaughtered animal after skinning and evisceration, but before final trimming and dry aging. When purchasing a side or whole animal in Tennessee, local processors charge based on this weight. Browse 20 meat processors across Tennessee on ButcherAtlas to learn more about custom carcass purchasing.

How to make sausage at home?

To make sausage at home, chill high-fat meat and grind it, mix thoroughly with seasonings and ice water until sticky, then stuff into natural casings. Keep all equipment cold to preserve the emulsion and texture. For custom meat grinds and fresh casings, visit any of the 20 specialized meat markets listed across Tennessee on ButcherAtlas.
