For general ground I use beef fat, when was the last time you heard someone craving a big ole fat juicy pork burger? I think you question has been answered…

twilliams - Pork

Beef fat for burger and pork fat for sausage making.

[twilliams]

Thanks for the opinions all, I’ve come to the conclusion of doing a test of both varieties and see what I like best. Now why didn’t I think of that before? I just figured if there was a definite swing one way I wouldn’t need to have half my venison better than the other. Thank you all

I like my venison burger with nothing it doesn’t seem dry to me

I want to say beef. The strong flavor of beef matches well with venison in my opinion.

Nothing until I get ready to cook it. Then I add 1/4 lb of 80/20 ground beef to a pound of deer meat.

I have always used both, beef fat stays put in your grind where as pork will melt out in many cases. I always try to keep 70/30-80/20 or there about. If you like grilling, put 1lb of bacon ends per 10lbs of grind. Make all your neighbors come visit! Adds to flavor & the aroma will make a dead man set up and ask for seconds!!

twilliams I use beef fat most of the time because it is so much easier to get in my location. But I don’t think you can go wrong with either one.

I prefer beef when I can get it, but pork also works well. The smoked bacon pieces make great burgers when added to venison.

I do love going to the meat counter at my local grocer and ordering a bunch of beef fat, I like to say it loud so people can hear, I’d like to think that they say, “did he just ask for 20lbs of beef fat?”
