Meat Processors in Garfield County, Montana

Garfield County offers a lot of ground for mule deer and antelope hunters, but getting your animal out of the field and broken down is the main priority once the work is done. With the remote nature of the Big Dry, you need a reliable place to drop off your harvest before the drive home.

Ryan’s Processing in Jordan handles wild game for locals and those traveling through the area. They provide standard butchering services to get your meat cut, wrapped, and frozen. Having a shop right in the center of the county helps when you are hunting far from the bigger cities.

Using meat processors in Garfield 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.
