Just curious what the going rate for processors is nowadays. I am thinking of doing it on the side here and there for a little bit of extra spending money. I've got all the equipment and can pretty much do anything a processor can do. I want to be fair and competitive. Only issue is packaging supplies, sausage casings, seasonings, etc are not free.....I've got an idea what to charge. Just want to see if I am in line with it.
I have a local couple that charges $50 per cooler...deer or hog. you drop it off already quartered. They do all the standard cuts and provide up to 2 flavors of sausage.
There's a meat market in Tampa around Orient and MLK (I think). They charge around $40-50 for standard cuts and making patty sausage.
The Hungry Gator in Plant City charges around $3-3.50 lb for different types of sausage. Jalepeno and Cheese Smoked, Summer, Breakfast, Italian etc...
If you have the time, you could probably make some $$ at it. Just limit who you do in case someone gets sick and then they try to blame you...
Never heard the final verdict on this game plan...???

Been doing a few, actually. Did a hog last week for a friend of mine and hand delivered the meat to his hunt camp(he was on the way to mine). Been doing a few euro mounts as well. Got one I am finishing today (hopefully), 2 more in the tank, and 2 Mississippi bucks being delivered tonight to work on
