I believe stewarts meats only does their own stuff. Otherwise they would be first on my list regardless! They seem to do magic to meat!Call em It was never like that unless they recently changed. I hung alot of nice animals on the hook years ago. Years ago an uncle worked there and closed at night. Well he put a bear in the walk in freezer sitting in a chair with his coat and hat on! He went home. Next morning Butch opened up the door to see My uncle locked up and froze to death! Funny prank I bet Butch still remembers! Stewarts a family friend for along time and hopefully they still do wild game or I may need to find new place as well!

2nd- in the long run you're a LOT better off learning to process your own meat. If you can read up on it or find a video or whatever do it. It's not difficult- it will be time consuming in the beginning but with a few pointers you would do just fine. With most cuts you are simply separating the muscles, then cutting the right direction. You will also be guaranteed a higher % of finished meat- shops would go broke if they spent time on every job that many home butchers do. Give it some serious thought.

He does all butchering/packaging, sausage, salami, pepperoni, jerky, burger etc. and is very reasonable. The money he gets from doing game is his side money for his own hunting so he relies on word of mouth and repeat customers to allow him to go on his own hunts.
He has done my butchering for years and is highly recommended.
Send me a PM if you are interested and I will hook you up, he is in Graham.

My only suggestion if butchering yourself is to freeze the meet with dry ice in a cooler before moving to your freezer. (quick freeze).

He is reasonable too! And a great guy, I bring him what I can for processing, I do the rest myself if I have the time for it.
I also have had some of the stuff from Zach at Rainier taxidermy, in fact I helped with a bunch of buffalo breakfast sausage he was making a few years back, great stuff!
