My dad and wife runs a deer process and in Jan it get busy. I guess people do not realize that the walk in freezer will only hold so much and they need people to pickup to make room for more they give 14 day to pickup and call folks several times to remind them. But like everything now a days a few bad apples ruin it for everybody. It cost a lot of money to run all the cooler and freezer and they try to get things cut off as soon as they can at the end of the season. Sooo...what are you trying to say....
Did you know that Beer Nutz are over a Dollar...and Deer Nutz are under a Buck...

The processor I use in town sold the 2nd buck I killed this year. It was thanksgiving weekend and I actually hung around and talked while they caped it out for me. I get a call about 2 weeks later saying my deer meat is ready and if I don’t come and get it theyre going to sell it. I never got a first call, or if I did I didn’t realize it. I go by there the next day to get my meat and it’s already been sold! The said they called me 3 days after I dropped the deer off. I actually told them I was sorry for the misunderstanding and I tried to pay them for caping the deer out. He wouldn’t have it and just told me to bring him another deer. I did, no harm no foul.
Hell if a processor calls me 3 days after I drop one off I’ll tell him to sell the damn thing. Unless I brought it quartered in a cooler. Mine hang a week or they don’t get left.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

But like everything now a days a few bad apples ruin it for everybody. It cost a lot of money to run all the cooler and freezer and they try to get things cut off as soon as they can at the end of the season. No one is arguing that people get busy, or that meat takes up room in a freezer. I would completely understand them selling it if I had been given a hard pickup time as I stated in the OP. This guy is butchering beef and his freezer is still running I would assume. It appears you are calling me a bad apple which is confusing because having my meat sold literally ruined nothing for anyone except myself. I appreciate you making a generalization and pointing out things everyone else knew and understood.
I don't always hunt the line, but when I do, I make sure I'm close to my neighbor's 8 acre bean field.

Pickup meat on time or Don't be mad when the processor gets rid of it. Thank you for such an enlightening statement.

When I lived in Baldwin County, the local processor had a waiting list and once March 1st rolled around, they would sell any remaining meat for processing costs. I've bought a lot in the past this way.
I came, I saw, so I killed them all......Vern

Yea that’s on you for waiting that long. Maybe so but a warning would have been appreciated. First and last season using them. Most processors wont hold deer after the end of season for maybe a week or so. I would not expect one to run a big walk in freezer for almost a month after season is over just to hold one deer. Might want to ask the next processor you use upfront if he would hold one for a month after season ends for you or what his policy is.

Deer have to hang for several days. A deer that is ready in three days is someone else's deer and i will not use that deer processor period.

Our processor texts us when our deer meat is ready to be picked up, an excellent reminder!

Ya, I really think they just got busy over thanksgiving weekend and got some deer mixed up. I’ve never had that processed call me 3 days after I drop one off, it’s usually at least 2 weeks.

My processor calls when its ready, about 8 to 10 days after you drop it off. Then they will call you back in a week to remind you its ready. He gives you a day or two then sells it if he has an opportunity.
He is a processor not a warehouse.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
