If you don’t have the equipment

Saw this offer at the local Food Processing shop. It’s a Amish shop that reconditions butchering equipment. They do sell new Vacmaster sealers & bags. Thought this to be a interesting offer.

Now that is cool!!
I would definitely rent it for a day with a bunch of other guys!
How about SMF sausage day!

That a cool idea for sure, but I would hate the maintenance on all that equipment as a rental. People are hard on rental equipment either because they don’t care or they just don’t understand how to properly use the equipment, either way I’d think the upkeep and sanitation of that trailer could be cost prohibitive. Still a cool idea though.

Why would you butcher in a trailer when you can butcher at home. Anything you do in there is probably not approved by the Department of agriculture. You need that little stamp on your product to sell it. If folks wanted to process amongst themselves as a group remotely, I could see it.

seems to me that the trailer is for rent
what you do with it is up to you
legal semantics

That’s a pretty cool idea. The cost compared to buying all that stuff is a bargain. If you only do it once in a while this seems great.

It's a great idea so long as you have a walk in cooler to age your beef before processing.

Anybody want to bet on the bacteria present in a rented meat processing trailer?

Go for the two day rental and spend day one sanitizing everything lol
