Meat Processors in Mountrail County, North Dakota

When hunting the badlands or the agricultural breaks in Mountrail County, you need a reliable place to take your deer or upland birds once the work in the field is done. Public land around the Van Hook Arm and the Parshall area attracts a lot of pressure, so local processing options are essential for keeping your meat from spoiling during a multi-day trip.

The options here are limited but focused on standard cuts and specialty sausages. Myers' Meats & Specialties in Parshall serves as the primary hub for hunters needing professional butchering after a successful day on the prairie. They handle everything from basic hanging and skinning to final vacuum sealing and packaging.

Using meat processors in Mountrail 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.
