Basic Processing
Our Basic (Part I) Processing includes your choice of Steaks, Roasts and Burger with up to 10% Beef Fat. Steaks and Roasts are Vacuum Sealed and Flash Frozen. Burger is wrapped in approx. 1 lb. Poly Chubs and tied with orange tape. Steaks are cut to approx. 1 inch. Roasts will vary depending upon the size of your animal as well as the condition the animal was received in.
Part I Processing will be complete and ready for pickup in 7-10 days.
Sausage, Jerky and Specialty Products (Part II)
As hunters ourselves, we understand the time and energy put into keeping your carcass/meat clean and cared for. Because of this, we do not mix animals when making any of our specialty products.
This is why our process can take up to 16 weeks depending upon the season you dropped off in
as well as what you ordered.
5280 Processing offers a wide variety of wild game meats including:
Raw Sausage in Bulk or Link
Smoked Logs, Links and Sticks
