Default RE: Butchering Costs

Trout, jerky is a healthy price here in Sask if done by a butcher. You'd probably be looking around 5.00/lb, this is wet weight cost not final product. So if you want jerky ask your butcher to take out some roasts or steaks then make your own with a dehyrator (you can pick a good one up at walmart for 30 buck range- American Harvester).If you ain't much for cooking orattempting thingshead to wholesale sports and pick up some High Mountain jerky spice(of the flavoring you like)/cure ($8/package - will do approx. 15lbs of jerky). All you need to do is cut the meat into strips and follow the directions. About 4-6 hours you'll have jerky.

Summer sausage usually is the same price as smoked sausage $2-3/lb. Give Prairie Meats a call, they do a nice job on Summer Sausage and good price. Drakes also makes nice summer but aren't cheap!! Calling around will get you the costs.

BTW all charge a carcass disposal fee 15-20 bucks last I heard.

Whatever you do don't take it to European...they pretty much gaurantee you won't get YOUR DEER back...YUK!
