Meat Processors in Grant County, Kansas

Hunters in Grant County generally focus on the irrigated corn and sorghum fields around Ulysses for both mule deer and whitetails. Once you have a buck down, getting it into a cooler quickly is necessary, especially during those warmer early season days on the plains. You need a local spot that understands how to handle field-dressed game without letting the meat spoil in the Kansas wind.

There is currently one specialized processor listed in Ulysses, with Daisy Hill Farms serving the local area. Having a reliable shop nearby saves you a long drive to Garden City or Liberal when you are trying to get your harvest broken down and packaged. They can handle your standard cuts and grinds so you can get your meat into the freezer and get back into the field.

Using meat processors in Grant 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.
