Sounds right to me once you add it all up. I don't think you have anything to complain about.

It would be hard to make all of it into sliced jerky, but 10# is a lot.

It doesn't sound like you got but 20-30# of meat back. That ain't right.

Can they jerky all the meat. Thought you always got some burger back because of the trimmings.

The jerky typically only comes from the hind quarter and back strap. By the time you trim of all the fat and sinew to get it down to lean meat, you only end up with so much. It's hard to really tell without looking at what you got back, but you will always have some grind meat. The only free option for the grind meat is burger.
If the jerky packs are 2 lbs each, I wouldn't be surprised if your hind quarters ended up half grind half sliced jerky. Depends on who is doing the trimming.
When you add up what you got back and the summer sausage price per lb plus the base fee, is the $115 correct. Slicing jerky shouldn't cost extra if not cooked. Based on what you say it seems high.
Having said all of that, I have only processed 12 or so, but I was taught by a friend that is a processor. Whatever that's worth.

I'd been happy with that. I like sliced jerky but I bought a jerky shooter and I like jerky from hamburger as good or maybe a little better. What you got sounds about right to me.

All processors suck. I just got to where I get the best end product. Even if it's not the right order, or not my deer, or not enough meat, or 2 weeks late.... if you don't like your preocesseor do it your self. Most people don't processor their own cause it's easier to take it to a processor. Easy doesn't equal quality. Only way to control the quality is to do it your self ALL - just not true! Sure some are good, some really terrible, and a few do a great job. If you do some "homework" before you have a deer on the ground, ask some questions of friends, and some questions at the processor you can find some fine folks that will do a good job and a fair price.

That is certainly in the ball park. You didn't order burger, but what did you want them to do with the trimming meat, throw it out? You are going to end up with some grinding meat no matter what you order.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I just had a 190 pound buck ground into all burger. They added 10 percent beef fat. It yielded 50-55 pounds of meat.
