My morning pout
Just got my deer back from the sausage man. It was 110lb. Hanging on the hook. I had it made into 2/3 garlic sausage and 1/3 pepperoni. Pork was also added. I'm just looking for some educated guesses on what you think the total processing cost of this would be in your opinion. The deer was not de-boned when I dropped it off. I figure was gouged a bit and I'm pouting

My invoice from the butcher is usually about $250 / deer, depending on the size. That usually includes sausage and jerky, along with some packs of steaks / burger.

Just tell us what you were charged for the basic butchering and then how much you were charged on top per pound of sausage, and how much sasuage you got in the end. And just sausage? Nothing else?

Over $200 for sure.
If I were to nail down a high side number. $260 would give me a little shock in the pants.

for what ever its worth , I was checking around at the butchers, in and around Calgary , mid November , and basically it sounded like deboning a deer was
$ 75 - 115 and sausage was running about $ 2.50 lb and up depending on how much other meat was added. So by those numbers you would be looking at anywhere from $ 375.oo up . I would guess this prices would be " big city " prices given for first time callers , so if you're in small friendly town and especially if you are a regular , the price would be much less. Not a problem for me this year as I was able to cut up my WT tag very easy all by my self.
It would however , be interesting to know what kind of $ everybody else paid , and what they got done. Thanks RBI

I haven't used a butcher shop in years (I couldn't take the high cost) so I do it myself, however a standard pricing model would be in the neighborhood of $0.99 per lb hanging weight, the basc cut and wrap charge. Then whatever meat you put into sausage will have about a $2.50 per lb additional charge. You should get about 60% of the hanging weight into sausage. The butcher may also charge additional for pork, though this is uncommon.
So a 110 lb deer will see about a $110 cut and wrap fee, pluss about $165 to turn the meat into sausage.
Jerky is higher.
Hope this gives you an idea.

Butchering all into sausage....requires deboning and trimming only. Then the cost of sausage....wrapping and bone disposal?
$300-400 is my guess.

Don't forget you will pay for the entire weight.
Next time cut out the rib cages and your back straps.
Why turn the back into sausage????
So 110 minus 40% approx shout give you about 55lb of meat, but you paid for 110. (Should have cut it up yourself and then take the meat in)
So, .65 per pound? Approx? Plus processing of sausage and price of pork.
So probably $4 per lb? 70lb x $4 plus pork, plus $75 for the straight weight of the deer.
Add it up, am I close?

I wasn't far off. I was guessing in the 375 range.
Eat it and enjoy the memory of your hunt.
Next time, butcher and trim it yourself. Cut $80 off your bill.
What's your time worth?

Deboning - .55/lb x 110 = $60.50
Sausage - $2.05/lb x 30(?) = $61.50
Pepperoni - $2.10/lb x 30(?) = $63.00
Pork Added - $3.00/lb x 20(?) = $60.00
Wrapping - .45/lb x 80(?) = $36.00
Disposal Fee - $35.00
GST - $316.00 x .05 = $15.80
Total - $331.80......Is my guess....unless I've forgotten something.
*Skinning, vac seal, extra pork/spice would all cost more of course.

I thought that my guesstimate was a little low.....$407 sounds reasonable to me.
Can you break down the costs (ie price and quantity of pork, etc)?
How many lbs of product did you end up with?

If it makes you feel any better I took in 2 x 20lb (approx) of trim and I'm expecting to pay about $200 to get it processed. One of the bags is going to be processed jerky at $4.25/lb and the other is teriyaki stick at $3.50/lb.

Next year just drop your deer off here.
I will process it for you into boneless cuts, sausage and jerky. Everything vacuum packed.
No charge and I will only keep half
Will be ready for you to pick up in a week

$407 is insane.
Watch some YouTube videos on deboning. It is very easy and only takes a few hours to get your deer perfectly deboned and ready for the sausage maker.
Then take your meat to the Pine Haven Colony to get sausage made. You will not regret the effort.
Failing that, Grassy Lane Meats in New Sarepta is a family run business that does a fine job and has reasonable prices.
If my wife does not get her Elk this week I will spend the $407 on beef.
Pm with questions if you wish. All of our boned out deer are heading to the colony in January. It will be done by February. They are very fussy and have great products. Google them for hours of operation.

Two hours to de-bone a deer.....WHAT!!! If I'm just de-boning to make sausage out of the whole deer it doesn't take nearly that long......20 minutes maybe if I took my time.

I've made my own garlic sausage in the past and it was good but I like Sandyviews much better. I'm not real keen on a strong smoke taste, not even in my jerky.

Deboning is quick but trimming out the fat and other schmegly bits takes longer than 20 mins.
