While the hunt itself is what brings the greatest thrill for most hobbyists, deer meat processing is the daunting task that is left waiting when the fun is over. For a hunter to deal with their own, it required both a lengthy commitment and getting messy as well as a skilled hand, an extremely big area to do the work in, and much frustration throughout the process. To take this annoying a messy task off your table, turn to a specialist who knows how to handle processing deer to deal with it instead.

Deer processors are certified professionals who are top notch butchers in general.However, what sets these experts apart from other butchers is the fact that they specialize in venison. They know how to take an animal apart smoothly and quickly, turning out cuts in any manner that is requested of them.

One cut that most hunters love is any type of large roast. Sections of the shoulder, neck, and leg are all popular choices for low and slow roasts. A processor can leave some or all of these pieces entirely whole, sowing the seeds for a slew of future weekend dinners with your family.

Another excellent cut that is commonly requested is steak. It is easy to forget that venison cuts are similar to beef, the big difference being that it is sweeter and a bit leaner. Thanks to similar anatomy, you can easily ask for rib eye steaks, sirloin steaks, or most any cut at any desired thickness.

Ribs are another popular cut that is both very tasty and very versatile. Whether going for long ribs, short ribs, or a bone in rib eye roast, there is always enough of it to be portioned out to do all three. Simply request what you want from the butcher and you will have the proper cuts for grilling, braising, roasting, or stewing.

Processing the venison is another great and versatile choice that can be easily requested. Processors can take your favorite cut and then have it ground into burger, controlling the meat and fat content to your specifications. This process can go even further by taking the grounds and turning them into sausage.

Butchers can sometimes cure, smoke, and even cook up cuts for your family. Common choices include bacon, ham, or any number of other cuts roasted up or smoked. Enjoy these treats now or freeze with your other raw meat for later.

Whether you hunt for sport or to feed your family, you can bet that by the end of the season, you are going to wind up with several hundred pounds of fresh meat. Unlike what you buy at the grocery store, this meat needs to be processed from scratch or else it will just wind up spoiling and going to waste. Choosing a deer processing specialist is the best way to guarantee that your efforts in the woods were not for nothing and as a result, your family will have high quality meat for an entire season.
