    Might be getting a little ahead of myself but just in case, does anyone know of a good place to get a deer processed in SE Mn? I am in St. Charles so anywhere between Rochester and Winona would work best. Thanks

    In the past a guy in Rochester by the name of Fred Hoeft (spelling?) has processed deer. He does it right at his house and he does it fast.

    Fred Hoeft is great person and will help you out, I’ll send you a PM with his phone number.

    Another is Ryan’s Deer Shack (at home) he work at Ye Old Butcher and cut’s deer at home. No grinding with either of these guys, but in warm weather, they will both cut you deer that same day and send you on your way quickly. I’ll include Ryan’s information in my PM to you.

    I got one done last year at Burt’s meats in Eyota. I normally have it done at Forster’s in Plymouth but it was so warm that I wanted to drop it off on the way home. They did a great job vacuum packing everything so there was no freezer burn. Their sausage must have been good too because it is all gone already.

    Can’t help with a processer but try doing it yourself its easy to catch on to, plus it will save 100.00.

    I have done it myself a few times, but in the early season with the temps up I usually do not have the time to do it.

    but then you have to take 3-4 hours out of your day to get it in the freezer as fast as you can, sure i dont mind doing a deer when its 15 degrees out and there is a ice cold 12 back of premuim waiting for me but in their warm temps i think the best thing to do is to take it in, you OWE it to the deer to not waste any of the meat because it spoiled because it took you too long to process it

    It would be a small drive for ya, but my opinion is that you cannot beat Greg’s Meats in Hampton. You get your own animal back and not other people’s garbage.

    He makes everything from all sausages to sticks, jerky, weiners, brats, polish, etc….

    Probably got the best reputation for quality and awards in the Midwest.
