Deer Butcher

[Stopher]

Hello all- anyone know of butchers in MA who will do deer head to toe? Good cuts into steaks, average meat into stew meat and rest in sausage, etc.?

Jim Wallace cuts a great deer! he is out of Newburyport. Contact him at [email protected]

WAY out of my neck of the woods. anything closer to brockton/south shore?

Used to be a guy out here in the west named Middleton. He's a butcher for a supermaret out here, and used to butcher deer to specification. I can inquire with him if you like.

There's a guy in Middleboro who's neighbors were complaining about a couple of years ago. Maybe Pilgrim or some other Middleite will know who he is.

Arena's slaughter house in Hopkinton (also a tag station) and Blood Farm in Groton

I haven't seen their work but:
1) Scott Quimby, Middleton
2) There's a Lynn butcher shop that will do them, Eastern Ave or Western Ave (whichever runs between 107 and Lynn Shore Drive.

+1 on Arena's

I've used them in the past and was very pleased.

I'm going to see about Crocetti's in East Bridgewater, it's a butcher shop but i don't know if they do deer, possibly Brockton beef and provision too.

Arthur Machester in Taunton I believe. He runs a slaughter house and cuts meat.

What's a ballpark price for turning a carcass into a bunch of stuff ready for the grill? Or does the butcher just keep a piece of it?

I never realized there was an option other than cutting up your own, but I'm also not a deer hunter, just curious. (I have taken cows to Blood Farms in Groton and they've done a nice job. That was a while back, but I want to say it was $150-200--much larger than a deer, though.)

 

[dixidawg]

depending on size $50-$100

Dan Strum, lower hampden Road monson Ma right near intersection with Zion rd
Big sign out front

Does a fantastic job.
Deer completely boned out, burger ground, packaged and vaccume packed 80 bucks.

Additives to burger (pork fat) and sausage can be made for extra charge.

I made a trip to Blood Farm in Groton and chatted with a very nice woman in the retail section. They'll do deer, bear and moose (although it's a long trip back to MA from anywhere you are allowed to shoot one- better hope it's cold outside during the drive!). The cost was, I think, $120. If you wanted to do a shoulder mount after there was an additional cost to keep the head/shoulders in good shape for the taxidermist.

I also ended up buying some flank steaks, calves liver, strip steaks, breakfast sausages, etc. while I was there....all butchered on the spot.

I'll let everyone know about the meat and the butchering....should I ever harvest a deer.

Holy crap that is highway robbery!!!!

You may be right. But it was, by far, the closest place to me that was recommended by the members. I also did an internet search on them and discovered they sold the freshest cuts of meat you can find at very reasonable prices. With the reputation from hunters and regulars alike I'll pay the extra if need be...

In Bridgewater, try Den Besten Farms, 8 North St, 508-6977-6500. It's were I get my beef.
