I worked as a butcher at a deer processor. Sometimes it’s not about integrity, sometimes it’s just about a minimum level of intelligence and an organizational system. At my shop, three guys proceeded 800 deer last year. We didn’t mix a single one!

Our cut sheet has several tear off tags at the bottom. Every section of the animal gets a tag so the customer gets their deer back. Cape= tag, tub of grind = tag, tub with back straps and steaks/roasts = tag, etc. All tags are counted for when the customer comes for pickup.

There are plenty of very nice/honest butchers who just don’t have a good organizational system and unintentionally short people or end up mixing meat.
