My hunting partner and I are avid archery elk hunters. Over the years we have taken a lot of elk , both bulls and cows. Finding a butcher that does a really good job can be tough. We are extremely diligent as to keeping the elk clean because elk are excellent table fare. This year we each took a cow elk and elected to use White Mountain Meat Packing to process our animals. Lowell Petersen, the owner, was very easy to work with. He gave us 24 hour contact for bringing our elk in for processing. This is a great help, as the weather was very warm, and we were able to get the animals to processing on a moments notice. Lowell aged our elk for 10 days per our request and we got our own animals back. The meat was double wrapped, frozen and boxed for pickup. We have since tried the burger and it is excellent. The steaks are also beautifully processed. The meat was trimmed very well and double wrapped. First it is wrapped in a plastic wrap and then wrapped in white freezer wrap. My wife is really impressed as to the cleanliness of the meat as well as the packaging. I only hope Lowell stays in business as we plan on using him in the future. I highly recommend Lowell Petersen's White Mountain Meat Packing and thank Lowell for the great job of...
Read moreI had my elk processed here, after my hunt in unit 3c back in October. I called ahead and gave him maybe 30min notice, I got there and they immediately unloaded my elk skinned it and began processing. They are very on top of their stuff. I go inside and they had a team of about 5 people just cutting the meat into steaks for other customers. They weighed my bull elk and with bones it was about 400+ pounds. I got mine vacuum packaged so it would last longer. And I think it came out to around $400. And I paid $200 up front and then $200 when I came to pick it up. I didn't get any fancy sausage or jerky made, I wanted to try that myself, but they had some samples and they tasted great. They were very reasonable and prices were all reasonable, and the meat was ready for aging and me to pickup in about 2 weeks and everything was packaged perfectly and clean. It's tastes amazing, I eat it all the time. My elk was given a number and that number stayed with it throughout the entire process, no other animals were mixed in to make their processing quicker or any bs like that. If I get another animal anywhere near the showlow/Heber area, I am definitely going to use White Mountain meat again. I couldn't be happier and I would highly recommend...
Read moreLowell Petersen's White Mountain Meat Packing is our place in the White Mountains! We can only highly recommend this business to anyone. Lowell and and all Associates are very professional, friendly and courteous. Customer Service like it used to be in the old days. So far, Lowell has processed 11 pigs for us. Every single time, the meat processing and cuts, ground beef and bacon slices are done to our extreme satisfaction. Also, the packaging is absolutely wonderful. My wife is very impressed how neat and clean the packaging was done. Our Roasts, Hams, Ham Hocks, Pork Chops, and Bacon Strips are separated with wax paper, than wrapped in plastic, and again wrapped in wax paper. So far, no other butcher is even coming close to the extreme excellent way of meat packing. Furthermore, Lowell and his Associates were and are willing and able to teach us how to cull, gut and skin our pigs. What a great help and wonderful way this is to learn "Hands ON"! Lowell, Thank you very much for all your help, support and teaching. We will see you very soon again with four more gilts. My wife and I wish you and your Associates a very "Happy and prosperous New Year!" I will copy and post on your...
