Meat Processors in St. Louis County, Missouri

St. Louis County hunters have one primary option for professional deer processing within the city limits. While the surrounding rural areas offer more variety, having a reliable shop right in St. Louis makes it easier to drop off a harvest immediately after a hunt at nearby conservation areas or private land tracts along the Meramec River.

Kenricks Meat & Catering provides full-service processing for Missouri whitetails. They handle the basic butchery and offer specialty options like summer sausage, snack sticks, and jerky. When you bring your deer into the shop, ensure it is properly tagged and field-dressed to meet local health and safety requirements for custom processing.

Using meat processors in St. Louis 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.
