He can processes it for you, you just can't legally sell it unless it's an inspected kill / processing.A processor authorized for game may or may not be licensed to process livestock.

He was a nice steer, really laid back, all he wanted to do was eat, which is perfect.. he could have had a little more fat, but he spend 6 weeks in the corral before slaughter since the guy was getting screwed around with his cooler/freezer setup, getting quotes of like $20K to hook it upNice looking beef!
That's a good looking chunk of meat right there.I got really lucky, I called my usual place in april and they said they were booked until next spring.. friend of a friend is just opening up a shop, he had space, I was his first client, I already told him I want space for another next year.. and for a bonus, he's closer and charged $300 less!
worked out t $870 CAD (650 USD?) all said and done, 820 lbs hanging

No, by law he cannot - Laws vary by state. I had a friend that processed over 2,500 deer per year, and he would lose his license and suffer legal prosecution if he did a cow or a pig. He could only do wild hogs.He can processes it for you, you just can't legally sell it unless it's an inspected kill / processing.
You will know better than I as you live there, but a quick google search does show a lot of guys that process both game and beef. So I guess they would have the required licensing.No, by law he cannot - Laws vary by state.

I think they need separate coolers for hanging, or at least divider walls.. that's what I've heard around hereYou will know better than I as you live there, but a quick google search does show a lot of guys that process both game and beef. So I guess they would have the required licensing.

I would not make that argument to the FDA inspectors. I knew a guy once that was selling cups at his restaurant in a dry county. Buy a cup and the alcohol was free. It did not end well for him!As regards TCRanch In as much as he cannot process livestock (unless it's his own) . What would be the result if you gave him
the beef, he processed it and made 'arrangements' to have the meat stored in your freezer. I am sure allowances could be made
for 'shrinkage'. A discreet application of american ingenuity could be the solution you are looking for.

Would he do it if we asked? Maybe. But I wouldn't put him in a position of possibly forfeiting his license. This is a very generous operation that will process (free of charge) & subsequently distribute to the needy any venison that is donated.As regards TCRanch In as much as he cannot process livestock (unless it's his own) .

HaHa. Will we soon have a futures market for trading processing slots? Or maybe it will be Mafia controlled. Could include toilet paper as well. How did we ever get to this point and how do we get out? Will things ever be normal again? At least we don't have gasoline shortages yet.I wonder how many people may have gotten a slot but don't have an animal yet, just to hedge their bet. Would it be possible to sell your slot if someone was desperate enough to have one processed, or would that be frowned upon by the processors? I'm just wondering if reaching out on Craigslist or Marketplace to see if anyone would be willing to give up, or trade for a latter slot would be worth while?
