Its the only way to go. After you do a few, you can cut one up and vacuum seal it in the time it takes to drive one to a processor and then go back to pick it up. Plus you'll learn what you like best in the way of cuts.
Plus we now make the best breakfast sausage and brats that I have ever had with venison. Pull up your socks and do your own.
Do it yourself, been doing it for decades.
It's easy, a good share with family and partners as long as their not lazy asses.
More roasts and steaks then lazy processors due as you usually get more burger from them.
I do my own sausage, jerky etc at times too.
Or take some in for more custom sausage.
Remember, processors charge per pound, love see you come in full body, or halfed ribs and spine in...... Ching ching
