Meat Processors in Kerr County, Texas

Kerr County is a central hub for Hill Country hunters, especially with the high volume of axis and whitetail taken throughout the Edwards Plateau. When you come off the ranch with a harvest, you need a shop that understands how to handle exotic game alongside native species. There are currently three reliable processors operating out of Kerrville and Ingram who can take care of your kill.

These local facilities, such as Bernhard's Meat Market & Processing, offer full services ranging from basic skinning and quartering to specialty sausage making. Having these shops located right along the main corridors in Ingram and Kerrville makes it easy to drop off your meat before heading home. They are equipped to handle the heavy workload common during the peak of the Texas general season.

Using meat processors in Kerr 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.
