Meat Processors in Columbia County, Wisconsin

Columbia County hunters have a few reliable options for getting their deer or hogs handled after the shot. If you are coming off the marsh or out of the woodlots near Lodi, the local sausage company and meat market right in town provides full processing and specialty sausage making. Further east near the interstate, there is another facility in Poynette that handles custom cuts.

Both locations in Lodi and Poynette stay busy during the archery and gun seasons, so it is smart to check their cooler space before you drop off your harvest. These shops provide standard butchering, vacuum sealing, and various snack stick options to help you fill the freezer for the winter.

Using meat processors in Columbia 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.
