FAQs
Why is it called Boggy Bayou?
Our facility is located on Boggy Bayou Road in Concordia Parish, Louisiana, but the name also speaks to our roots. The founders were born and raised in Louisiana, and we’re proud to call it home today.
For game processing or custom cuts, how long does it take for my meat to be processed?
We do our best to prepare your meat as quickly as possible, especially for our many customers who are in town for a limited amount of time while visiting on hunting trips or on lake weekends. But as you can expect, the amount of time we spend processing depends on the quantity and type of meat.
- Domestic beef requires a 14-day chill time after slaughter, but we can accommodate longer chill times upon request. After the chill time, we will process and package your meat.
- Domestic pork requires a 3-4 day chill time after slaughter. After the chill time, we will process and package your meat.
- Wild game processing time depends on our current volume. During peak hunting season, expect to receive your packaged order in about 7-10 days.
What’s the difference in custom cuts and specialty cuts?
Good question.
Custom cuts are what they sound like – custom orders. If you bring us an animal, we can process the meat for you. The best example of this is a family that may purchase a cow or hog directly from a local farmer. We’ll process the meat and provide the family with all the steaks, ground beef, pork chops or any other cut from the animal they provided.
Specialty cuts are already processed and are sold as they’re available. A great example of this is if we’ve found a great wholesale supply of fresh, grass-fed ground beef, and we offer it to our customers while it lasts. If you’re interested in specialty cuts, make sure to sign up for our email list – we’ll let you know when they’re available!

Is your sausage the same as Greg Poole’s sausage?
Yes. Greg Poole was our inspiration, and he was involved in the startup for Boggy Bayou Processing. Boggy Bayou sausage recipes are based on Greg Poole’s recipes. Together, we perfected each flavor, and we look forward to you enjoying each one.
