Deer Processing FAQ
How much meat will I take home?
The amount of meat you take home is normally 50% to 60% of the carcass weight of the animal you brought us. The carcass weight is normally 75% to 80% of the field dressed weight. These percentages will vary depending on several factors including: species, size and where & how the animal was shot.
How do I know I'm getting back the meat from my animal?
Wild Country guarantees that the meat you take home is solely & completely from the animal you bring us for meat processing in Oklahoma. We have a tag numbering system that starts at the dock, follows your animal to the holding cooler, the cutting table and all the way to the freezer. Our dock employees unload & personally tag all game at drop off. There are never two different deer, elk, etc. on the cutting table at any time. Each is ground individually as well, making certain that the ground meat you take home is from your animal.
How is the meat packaged?
All meat vacuum packaged. With vacuum-packaging, we guarantee that 80% of the packages will be tightly sealed. It’s not uncommon for up to 20% of the packages to lose their vacuum. Even though ice crystals may form inside those packages that meat will still last as long as a paper-wrapped package. We suggest you simply use those packages first. If you are concerned with the number of packages that have lost their vacuum, you are more than welcome to bring those packages back for re-sealing, at no charge.
What is the procedure with organs?
Livers, hearts, tongues, etc. are not necessarily from your animal. Organs are cut & packaged on the day of slaughter. Not all organs pass quality-control inspection. Only the healthiest organs are kept and the others are condemned. We believe that this practice is the safest way to ensure all organs are healthy and edible.
Do I need to call ahead to bring my deer in for processing?
No. You do not need to call ahead. Just check our hours of operation to make sure we are open the day and time you need to drop off. We have extended hours during rifle season. Check Facebook page for updates.
Where do I drop off my animal?
We process deer and elk at our Cleveland facility located at 300 S. Broadway, Cleveland, OK 74020.
