This is my first year elk hunting, so what can I expect to be charged to butcher a cow? Do they charge by the animal or pounds.How much to have jerky made?Is their such a thing as elk summer sausage?What are the best ways to have it processed?

I think I paid $250 the last
I think I paid $250 the last time I had one done...and it was a standard rate for an elk. (Mountain Meat Packing in Craig, CO...Loren & Gary are good guys, though Gary will get grumpy from lack of sleep during elk season! LOLOLOL! )
Basic cuts and grind is included, for anything specialty it is extra (normally)...i.e...jalapeno chedder brats, jerky, pepper sticks, summer sausage, etc...
They are great to work with too, the last time I had mine in there I was still hunting for like 4-5 days and they kept it froze for me till I was driving home. I did not expect it due to the time of year and the dmand for space, but no problem at all they said!

I'll typically bone out all
I'll typically bone out all my meat and trim it up so there is no waste to pay for. The place i go is pretty cheap, but they do a great job and the meat tastes very good. Its called Whites country meats, man they have the best steaks in the world. and they dont charge an arm and a leg. its a family owned and ran shop they have been around for 40+ yrs. I wont go antwhere else.

$150 to $250.It depends on
$150 to $250.
It depends on how big an elk and how much elaborate processing you have done (sausage, air tight wrap, exotic steak and roast cuts, and on and on).

We just quarter ours, and put it on dry ice. Then we bring it home and have the local butcher cut and wrap it for 60 bucks.

That is crazy cheap. What's the name of the company and what city are they out of? That's almost worth the drive to where ever it is!
