What about alligator meat?

Our estimates from alligators we've done in the past are that a 10 foot alligator will give you about 40 lbs. of meat. We can slice it, grind it, or run it through the cuber for you, package it in 1.5 lb. vacuum sealed bags, and freeze it for you to pick it up in about 10 days. As with the venison, we charge per pound. So makes sense that we will retrieve all the good quality meat possible from the animal. That's been one of our foundational principles at Cordray's. Whether it's deer or hogs or beef or now alligators, we have an obligation not to waste the products of the animal. We feel strongly that part of our stewardship is to use all the usable portions of any animal harvested. You'll hear that the only good meat on an alligator is from the tail, but that is not the case. With care, you can get a sizable return of good quality meat.
