Meat Processors in Conway County, Arkansas

Conway County hunters typically head toward the foothills and bottomlands for whitetail and hogs. When you get a deer down, you need a reliable spot to handle the breakdown and packaging. Having a local option near the hunting grounds saves you a long drive with a carcass in the bed of your truck, especially during the warmer early season dates.

There is currently one processor listed in Hattieville to serve the area. Gullett's Custom Meats handles game processing for hunters coming out of the nearby woods. They can take care of your basic cuts or specialty grinds so your harvest is ready for the freezer by the time you head home.

Using meat processors in Conway County

A processor skins, quarters, ages, cuts and packages your animal, and can turn trim into sausage, snack sticks or jerky. Many shops post cut sheets in advance and cap how many animals they take per day during peak weeks.

What to ask before you commit

  • Are you accepting deer right now, and is there a daily cap?
  • Do I get my own animal back, or is trim pooled?
  • What is the base price and what do specialty products cost per pound?
  • Do you have after-hours drop-off, and does the animal need to be field dressed?
  • How long until pickup, and how is the meat packaged?

What it usually costs

Basic cut-and-wrap is often a flat fee per animal, with sausage, sticks and jerky charged per pound on top. Specialty products regularly cost more than the base processing itself.

Timing matters

Warm weather is the enemy. Field dress immediately, keep the carcass shaded and open to airflow, and get it to the processor the same day when temperatures are above the 40s.
