Do you have questions about your order? Call us at (360) 426-1643.
Custom Beef
Processing | Depending on the hanging weight of the beef carcass, your order will hang about 2 days for every 100 pounds. To yield the best results for our customers, we diligently inspect them daily to determine when they are ready for processing. Beef purchasing options are Whole, Half or Quarter.*
*If you purchase a quarter of a beef, it is a Classic Cut only. This assures that both parties are getting a even distribution of all cuts. Both parties will get a quarter of the front and hind quarter.

Custom Pork
Processing | If you are purchasing half a pig, they do not require a hanging time for aging, so the fresh meat is usually ready for pick up with in a week of the animals’ arrival at Home Meat Service.
Smoked & Cured Pork
Offerings | We smoke meats in an in-house old fashioned alder smoke. The process takes a extra 2.5 to 3 weeks but it’s worth the wait.
Options to have your pork chops smoked or Canadian bacon from the loin. Shoulder bacon is a possibility from the shoulder. Jowl bacon is a possibility from the jowls. Legs can be smoked for hams, hocks and bellies into bacon.
Because of the 2 .5 to 3 week time frame and our high volume of processing, we cannot hold the fresh meat until the cured meats are ready for pick up.

Custom Lamb & Goat
Processing | If you are purchasing a lamb or goat, they do not require a hanging time for aging. The animal will be processed and ready for pick up within a week of the animals arrival at Home Meat Service.
Lamb or Goat carcasses can be cut into leg roasts, steaks, chops, shanks, stew or ground. We would be happy to further customize your meat at an additional charge. Common additional charges are for deboning the legs or shoulders.
Wild Game Processing
We also process wild game including Elk, Venison, Moose, Bear and Cougar.
When you bring in wild game for processing, it needs to be field dressed and free from dirt and hair. It is very important that you bring in the animal as soon as possible after it has been harvested, so that it can go into the cooler. Cooling the animal is a very important part of the processing. You have worked hard to get the animal and we want you to have the best possible product.
The tag needs to be with the animal, and you will need to fill out all the information as regulated by Washington State Fish and Game Department.
At that time we will go over cutting instructions for processing your animal.
Wild Game Custom Smoked Sausage
Bring us 20lbs of wild game and we’ll mix it with 5lbs of our quality pork to create 25lbs of sausage or pepperoni. Choose from 22 flavors, like Honey BBQ, Summer Sausage, or Teriyaki Pepperoni.
We specialize in single-batch processing, which means the game you bring in is the game you bring back home. There aren’t many butchery shops & smoke houses with over 60 years of experience. Our team is dedicated and experienced.
Pro Tip: Summer and Early Fall are the best times of year to turn your harvest into shelf-stable pepperoni or sausage. Other times of year, especially post-hunting season (Nov), you might find yourself on a wait list.
Because of single batching, the turnaround time can be slightly longer, but we believe that you will be happy with the end product and knowing that it is only your meat.
If you have butchered your own animal, but need us to make smoked sausage, breakfast sausage, or grind and wrap your burgers, we would be happy to do that as well.
