Title: Need A Butcher

that can cut and wrap a quartered up buffalo. The two local wild game places are over loaded due to deer seasons. I can bring my gal pal to wrap and grind my own hamburger. Need this done 11/10 or 11/11/08.

You might want to check with the butcher at Chopping Block or with the butcher at James'. :dunno:

Thanks, but did that at James already. Apparently, it's against the law to cut up uninspected meat on equipment used for inspected meat.

Am kinda hoping to get lucky and find a farmer or rancher that does there own critters and has the equipment and time to fool w/ mine.

There's T-N-L Meat Processing out on CR71 in Yocana, I think it is. We've taken a thing or two to them, they do good work. There's also somebody down in Vandervoort that does meat processing. They're doing a deer for a friend of mine right now, though I don't know the name of the place. Anybody know?

We have used T&L and they do really good processing.... :thumb:

I'm curious.... Is there somewhere around Mena that you can buy buffalo meat? If so, tell me where, I'd love to have some if it's reasonably priced.

Update on the buff/butcher problem. Had made arrangements at T-N-L, but for the month of Oct not Nov. Had called Vern's before I left and they didn't think they would have room or time w/ deer season coming in.

Found a place near Russelville that would do it anytime. Stopped by Vern's on way back w/ quartered buff and they graciously did it. I've already picked the frozen meat up and am very pleased w/ them.

I've heard there is someone raising them locally, but that's all I know. I've seen the meat in Wal-mart, it's good but pricey.

Thanks to all.
