About Animal House Butchery
Animal House Butchery is a family-owned butcher shop and wild game processor in Filer, Idaho, owned by Payton Menezes and his family and serving hunters and ranchers across the Magic Valley.
We’re right here in Filer, and we process deer, elk, antelope, and more for hunters from Twin Falls, Buhl, Kimberly, Jerome, and the rest of the Magic Valley.
Meet Payton
Payton Menezes was born and raised in Reno, Nevada, where hard work, family, and the outdoors weren’t a hobby. They were a way of life. In 2025, he and his family moved to Idaho, leaving the family business to pursue a dream of his own.
Payton is an avid hunter and a classically trained butcher. He has 1,000 hours of hands-on artisan butchery under master butcher Rick Escover. He knows whole-animal breakdown, every major cut, and how to get the best use out of every section.
A butcher, not just a processor
There’s a difference between running meat through a process and cutting it by hand. At Animal House Butchery, your animal is broken down by a trained butcher who knows where each cut comes from, how it should be handled, and how it can best feed your family.
That means clean cuts, practical portions, and as little waste as possible.
Family-owned in Filer
Animal House Butchery is owned and run by Payton and his family. We treat your harvest and your custom order the way we’d treat our own: with respect, care, and pride in every cut.
