Add some pork shoulder, cut your steaks and roasts....good to go! Just make sure you clean it up well, no hair!! Very easy and  rewarding.

LittleRock meats did my moose and two elk so far for me and has done my hamburger for a few years and I am very happy with the results and the meat.

Once you start doing your own butchering I think most will never go back.  The quality you get is just so much better doing it yourself.  I have many first hand horror stories from Stewarts and Mt. View in pierce county and after a decade or so of shoddy work I decided enough was enough and bought one of those Cabelas grinders 7-8 years ago. Couldn't be happier and now it costs $30-40 to butcher our elk instead of $200-300.

Purchase a meat grinder and a boning knife and learn how to do it yourself.  It's not that hard and does not take that much time.
  :tup:

To those that do get the boning knife and do it yourself  Yes the first couple of times you might not get everything right and make a mess but have yo gotten everything right the first time you did everything in life. Biggest advantage is you know at the start you're gonna get ALL your meat. None of this take in 150 pounds and only get 85 pounds back

Several years ago in Tri-Cities, I couldn't bear paying the price of having my deer processed: $1.69/lb, $169 minimum, when I just wanted it ground into burger. I started taking my game to the local hispanic meat shops, the carnicerias. But this year, no carniceria would take it. They all said that now they can only do USDA inspected meat. I went back to the $169 minimum guy, and he said as long he didn't have to handle the carcass he would grind up whatever I brought him for $0.69 lb., and that he would do it immediately in less than 20 minutes. So I boned out the meat, put it my cooler, and took it in. Walked out 20 minutes later with all of it ground and packaged. Worked great, but I am seriously considering investing in a grinder for next year.
Cheers!
