RE: Don't you hate it when...
I specifically asked about that with my processor. They said the basic processing like steaks, roasts and chopped meat was from the deer you brought in. If you ordered anything special like hunter sticks, jerky or the like it may not be, do to the time effort and amount that needs to be done. They just weigh the amount they used from your deer and give you back that amount when you pick it up. I usually just get whole backstraps, steaks and burger when I do it, so it 's all mine.
That is a good point to make, and it's something you should ask when you go somewhere.
