Meat Processors in Broadwater County, Montana

Broadwater County offers reliable options for hunters coming out of the Big Belts or the Elkhorns. When you fill a tag in these units, getting your elk or deer broken down quickly is essential, especially during the warmer early season dates. Having a central location in the valley makes it easier to drop off your harvest before the drive home or to the next camp.

Using meat processors in Broadwater 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.
