If you're bringing in venison for processing, you will be asked if your venison is being tested for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). We do not require CWD testing for processing. If your venison is being tested, your negative test results must be submitted to our facility before any processing will take place. While there has been no evidence of CWD being contracted to Humans, we will not process any venison product that has tested positive for CWD.
-
When bringing in your wild game, please make sure to have either your Customer Identification Number, your animals tag number, or confirmation number. All venison is tagged with your name and date to allow tracking of the meat that is currently awaiting CWD test results.
