Avoid everything in Rawlins
DO NOT take your animal to this place. I took in a mature bull elk and only got 13 small packages of steak and the rest was ground into burger. The backstraps was missing and they charged almost $500. So the backstory.... I took the bull in on the 29th of September. It had the front quarters, the rear half and the bag of tenderloins, backstraps ,neck meat and rib trimmings. I asked when it could be done and we agreed to a pick up of the 8th of October. I askes for the normal cut of steaks, butterflied backstraps, roasts and burger. I was told that this was not possible due to being understaffed and it would be roasts and burger only. I live 4 hours away so I figured that I could come back to visit family and get my camper then. I started to try to call on the Wednesday before with no answer and on Saturday the 8th while driving there I got word that the owner had lost his phone and to call another number. I called and they said that it was not done and could take a few more days. Then it was suggested that I let her cousin bring me the meat as he lives in the same town as I do. She finally said that if I pick it up on Sunday that it would be done. When I picked it up on Sunday they set the trays of meat out on a table and went in and locked the doors ! I had paid in full before so I couldn't even hold back payment and they wouldn't open the doors to explain their self's! Looking back I would take it to Maddox Meat in Medicine Bow. I have used them before with great results. My cousins needed help packing one out so I opted to take it to Trails west to get back out to the field.
@WYOSTICKFLICKER What place?
I think there is only one in Encampment. I cant recall their name but they did a good job on a deer for a couple years ago.
We take our meat just across the border into Walden at North park meats. I think for quartered animals it’s 1.45-155 per pound.
