We have a bunch of Elk trim from last year. Called to drop it off 2 weeks ago and was told they are full, not taking new until Jan.
Waited too long. Should have dropped it off in August.

That truly sucks to be told one thing and to be counting on it.

Guess it needs to be in writing with a discount for non-performance

One of the reasons I started doing it myself and not looking back now. It's a blast doing my own and you get a variety of flavors too

If they didn't tell you that it'd take months to get your deer processed then I think that's dirty pool. I used to take my trim into Sandyview Farms but I got sick of waiting 2 months for my sausage. I now take it to Victoria Meats in Edmonton and it's processed in a week or two.

Dropped 60 pounds of trim off at the Longview Jerky shop on Nov 12th and picked it up Nov 27th. They never disappoint out there

MAKE YOU OWN! It's not hard. My friend and I did just over 500Lbs of sausage, pepperoni, and jerky in a week. We had trim from moose, deer, elk, and antelope and a whack of goose meat.

Supplies are easy to come by, and this forum alone is a wealth of information. besides, the meat you give to someone else to mix for you isn't always the same meat you get back. Remember most commercial locations work in 100Lb lots. Rarely is it ever all the meat you so carefully cared for before freezing.

Come on guys, if two women, both under 5'2" can do it, so can you!!

Default sausage

We are still taking trim, and most of it will be out before Christmas.
My staff in the sausage kitchen has done an amazing job on the organization and turn-around of wild game this year. Much of it was out in two weeks after we received it.
Alberta Prairie Meats in Duchess.

Maybe someone local to the OP can front him 5-10 lbs of game sausage short term till he gets his meat processed.

Beekmans Bacon Farm in Edberg had my whole deer cut, wrapped, and 50lb of sausage made in 10 days during mid-November. Highly recommended

Less than a week for Victoria Fancy Meats to do my jalapeno and cheese smokies, and are they ever good.

Maybe they are waiting till they have enough meat in for large batches? Be surprised how many do this (meat all mixed together)
Another good reason to make your own

Yes I'm sure that's what happens it would suck cuz I take very good care of my meat, I'd hate for them to throw it all into one big batch and just make everything up, but how do you know.

Better off to make your own. Then it is done on time and no one to complain about besides yourself.

It sucks that your meat will take that long to get back and I have been in that same spot. Playing the devils advocate here but If I'm a meat cutter who has one customer bringing dozens of animals a month on schedule vs. one customer who brings in 40 lb of trim for me to pack, who would I be trying the hardest to keep happy?

I know every customer should be treated the same but not always how it goes.

Nothing worse than taking in a very clean grain fed prairie deer and having it mixed up with a gut shot mountain deer. Been doing my own for quite a while now.

Talk to a few guys to see if you can borrow their equipment and maybe teach you how to make it. You could go and pick up your trim, have it made into sausage and be eating it before Xmas... and learn how to make it yourself.
I'm sure there are guys on here that are close to you that would help out a fellow AOer???
Maybe a Christmas gift to yourself, a meat grinder, mixer and sausage stuffer!!!
Regardless, have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Another reason that I use Victoria Fancy Meats, they don't mix meat from other customers.
