Valley Meats Home Kill

Might be a good thing to join up to for the keen hunters

Can anyone recommend a good tannery around the manawatu to get a deer hide done. Just got a customer wanting a deer hide done

Day light is slowly disappearing which means the deer will be roaring around the manawatu. Just a reminder to all the hunters bring deer in, to ring ahead before you bring them in, as fridge space is a push with the roar. If you are wanting small good or mince could you break it down before you bring it in otherwise if you need to bring it in as a carcass and we have room please bring it in skinned

thank you and be safe out there

Well done karl and jess

Got to have a bit of fun with some beautiful custom beef cuts last week and really enjoyed getting a bit creative with them 🔪🥩

There’s something satisfying about turning quality homekill beef into premium, ready-to-cook cuts.

If you’ve got beef ready for processing and would like something a little special, come and see us at Pohangina Valley Meats — we’re happy to tailor cuts to suit your needs.
