Meat Processors in Porter County, Indiana

Porter County hunters have options for getting their deer or hogs handled after a successful trip to the field. While much of the county is developed, the rural stretches near the Kankakee River and the northern woodlots still produce quality game. Finding a reliable shop to take your harvest is the final step in securing meat for the freezer.

M & D Processing in Michigan City is the primary shop serving this area, providing standard cuts and specialty sausage for local sportsmen. Whether you are coming off the marshes or private timber, they handle the breakdown and packaging. Having a local processor nearby saves you a long drive when you have a carcass on ice in the back of the truck.

Using meat processors in Porter 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.
