Title: Cheney area Butcher
Post by: Band on July 23, 2012, 10:14:46 AM: Anyone know of a good butcher in the Cheney/Williams Lake area that will process a deer or at least provide a cooler to hang one for a couple of days? I have a date with a big buck in that area in a few weeks. ;)

I used them for the first time last year and they are by far the best butcher I have ever used. He guarantees you will get your meat and not burger mixed with others.

I took my son's skinned buck to Egger's south hill last year and had no problem. Each Egger's meats has different policies.

Two years ago I called the one on the south hill and they told me I had to bring it in deboned because of something to do with state licensing. They may have it taken care of now.

The South Hill Eggers isn't far from Cheney if you take the Cheney/Spokane rd, then south to Hatch, They are right at the top of Hatch just off 57th.
