RatguyGary yes that should work nicely, the sure gel will help hold everything where it should!

Thanks Jonathon and everyone else for the assistance. I’ll let you know how things go. Hope to bring some to work on Monday. The Tech’s normally eat anything that’s free, but I’ll ask their opinion on how the summer sausage came out.
-
Jonathon i may have misunderstood you, i thought you told me you prefer a 50/50 mix of venison and pork? As venison is very lean and pork at best is 70/30%. If you mix those two together you end up at 85/15% or there about without adding any pure pork fat. I apologize if i created some more confusion, im just trying to clarify before i start my batches after the new year

twilliams you might know something I don’t.80/20 butt at the least.making a 15lb batch summer sausage deer/pork butt what would you mix for a 25% fat to meat.thanks for any help there.jim
farmer jim if you have very lean deer meat and 80/20 pork butt that may give you a 90/10 ratio or somewhere around there. So if you wanted to stay with the majority of venison in your batch of 15 lbs i would say 9.75lbs venison with 3.75lbs pork butt and add 1.5lbs pork FAT. That gives you a 15lb batch close to the 75%/25% ratio. Otherwise if you want to stretch out your venison you can go 50/50 venison/ground pork @ 7.5lbs each. Now that isnt quite the 75/25 you are looking for but i am having very good results with it. I hope this helps.

farmer jim unfortunately at the moment i dont do seperated measurement recipes. I just buy the seasoning all in one bag dump and go. Maybe in the future i will start playing around with making my own seasoning concoction

That is our norm here at my locker also. We put 1/3 of the venison weight either 50/50 pork or 50/50 beef depending on the product they want.

I always make my sausage in 20 lbs. batches. I grind 10 lbs. of venison and 10 lbs. of pork butt. Seems to work well for me.
rutnbuck i always do 50% venison-50% 80/20 pork trim. Turns out nicely and extends my meat blocks. If i dont have 80/20 i will use 25% straight pork fat.
