Hog Butcher in Napa area?

[db 183]

No trying to jinx my upcoming hog hunt (next week) but if we get two hogs, I plan on taking one to the butcher. The other we will handle ourselves.

Anyone have a reccomendation for a butcher in the Napa area?

Napa area Iam not too sure about. Buds Custom meats in pengrove/rohnert park is a great place. a little pricey. Angeloes meats is my favorite. They are located off of adobe rd.

Dave whoever you decide to take it too I would call them ahead of time and get the specs for bringing in the hog. most places require the hog to be totally dressed and/or skinned and completely free of hairs. I know when I did hogs out in Pt Reyes this was the case, per the state and FDA regs. I will be happy to help you with the one you want to do yourself. Actually, I'll help you with both if you want.

Nate -

I might take you up on that and will give you some of the meat if you like. I will let you know. I was kicking around the idea of getting one butchered but most likely I will just do it myself.

Are you free on the 9th, 10th or 11th?

Browns valley meats $$$$$$$. I was shocked my 72# cost as much as it did.

I don't think Angelo's is doing game any more. I used tto use him too and he was great. I now go to Willowside Meats on Guerneville Rd in Santa Rosa and will never go anywhere else.

I had a nice beef processed at willowside. It's a bit of a drive from napa but they are good people and the prices are fair.

Browns Valley Meats. Hands down best spot in town. Their minimum for any game processing is near $100.00. and goes up from there based on pounds and the type of processing you want. I know that when you order summer sausage for deer meat, it can get expensive. I have used them for decades and have never been dissapointed. They work with you on cut selection and do an AWESOME job on smoking hams.

Note - If you bring dirty and unclean animals into a butcher, they should have the right to kick you out and your game for being lazy. Cut out all of that gun shot, excess fat, hair and dirt.

DIY is the best method. Saves $$$$$.
