Using Reindrix Venison Well
Its spoilage rate is 0.083 per unit of decay time, exactly half the 0.167 every other raw Pal meat carries — Lamball Mutton, Rushoar Pork, Eikthyrdeer Venison and the rest all share that faster figure. It is the only raw meat in the game with the slower rate, so a chest of venison outlasts a chest of any other cut by double, and it holds up as well raw as most Pals' cooked roasts do.
Cooking slows the clock further: Roast Reindrix drops to 0.056 and Reindrix Stew to 0.048, the slowest-spoiling cooked meat dish in the game. If venison is going into long-term storage rather than a feed box, run it through the Cooking Pot as stew first — the Tomato is the only extra cost and the result keeps roughly 1.7x longer than the raw meat.
