Meat Processor near 22

If I have time, I may take my monster 200" deer that I kill into a processer if the turn around time is quick. Any ideas on meat processors either in Rifle or Meeker that may have a 1-1/2 day turn around on butchering a deer? Thanks in advance!

Brothers custom processing in meeker and Craig. Have taken a critter or two there over the years. Fast turn around and they do a great job. They also will make smoked snack sticks that are great. The tex mex are my favorite but others are good as well.

In Meeker H & H which is about 2 miles West of Meeker toward Rangley will give you a very quick turnaround and they do very good work. Their facility is spotlessly clean. I would stay away from the other facility in Meeker as the facility is pretty grubby. John Calandras owns H & H. He is also an outfitter.

Thanks for the info guys. I really appreciate it!

I believe Brothers is now in Craig only. I didn,t appear that they were open in Meeker. Their name was still on the building but we did not see any activity.

Laura's Corner in Rangely has speedy turnarounds as well.

I'll make some phone calls tomorrow. Thanks a lot guys.

With out a doubt there is only meat cutter I will let touch any of my animals. When I worked with aguide he was the only one we would use and for over 10 years now he is the only one I will still let touch any of my animals, livestock or wild.

H and H processing. John Halandras, they will cape, they boil skulls they will do everything. There is no batch grinding at all, the only meat you get back is the meat you bring in. THey are spotless, they are fast.

In 10 years, between my family and friends they have cut up over 30 animals deer and elk. In our house hold they have cut 16 elk and 5 deer. In all that work I have found 2 hairs in 1 pack of steaks and one bone chip in package of burger. My father has had over 10 elk cut by H and H and 5 or 6 deer. Never one issue.

They do not make jerky, they do not make sticks they do have an incredible Bacon Burger Reciepe, a decent breakfast sausage and a really good (not spicy) Italian sausage.

I will not recomend anyone else.

Brothers has closed in Meeker and is not opening up this year from the look of it. Purkey Packing makes some damn good processed meat, but the grind everything in bulk and sorry but some people bring in really crappy meat.

The place in Rangely seems to have good reviews, but never tried because I seriously believe that nothing could be better about H and H.

The only thing to remember is H and H will package all grind in 2 pound packs unless specified otherwise. Two pound packs is too much for almost our family recipes.

A really good meat loaf is one pound elk burger and 1 pound elk Italian sausage.

Hands down H & H ...

H & H all the way. very quick and never had a problem !!
