Bison Processing

Processing fees are based off of hanging weight and will include disposal of the animal carcass. All bison carcasses will have a 15-21 day hang unless otherwise specified. Steaks and roasts will be double wrapped in freezer paper. If you’re having your animal processed under inspection vacuum sealing steaks is available upon request. Hamburger will be in leak proof chubs. All meat will be boxed upon pickup. Processing prices are subject to change. All bison are required to be processed on the farm. We have a mobile slaughter truck that we will bring on site.

Note* the cut sheet is the same as the one used for beef.
