Guidelines

Deer Processing Guidelines

• All deer carcasses and boneless meat will be visually inspected by a Meats & Mooore employee before we accept it. We reserve the right to refuse any deer carcass or deer trim.
• Deer must be brought in to be processed during business hours only.
• All deer cuts offered (chops, steaks, roasts, etc.) will be boneless. During processing, the backbone will not be exposed in order to contain any possible contamination.
• Any carcass that has a damaged backbone or head and neck damage will be trimmed liberally to try to remove possible contamination from the brain or spinal cord.
• No antlers will be removed by Meats & Mooore, nor will we accept any deer that has had the skull plate removed. The whole head must be removed with antlers intact before the carcass can enter our facilities.
• Only whole deer carcasses or completely boneless deer can be accepted for processing. No deer that has been quartered or sectioned with the bone in it will be accepted.
• All DNR tags must be attached to whole deer carcasses and accompany boneless deer meat brought in for sausage. We cannot accept deer carcasses or meat without tags.
