Meat Processors in Midland County, Michigan

Midland County hunters have four local shops available for handling deer and other game this season. You can find meat processors located in Breckenridge, Coleman, Edenville, and Sanford. These locations serve hunters coming out of the Tittabawassee River state land and private farms across the county. Having these shops spread out helps when you need to drop off a harvest quickly after a late evening hunt.

Cozat Packing Inc in Coleman is one of the established options for those hunting the northern part of the county. Most of these processors offer standard cuts, burger, and specialty sausage. It is always a good idea to call ahead during the firearm season to check their cooler capacity, as shops in this area fill up fast when the weather stays warm.

Using meat processors in Midland 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.
