Making Summer Sausage with @shalomacres.

Self-Sufficiency

Last week Hive account@beatitudes8 and Hive account@shalomacres along with others friends, got together to butcher a steer. If you havent seen the post please check it out -----> Butchering a Cow with @shalomacres.

After we completed the butchering process and had all the ground meat grind up we decided to start making Hive account@shalomacres famous summer sausage.
We used beef, venison and lamb for the sausage, and lots of it.

The Grinding set up

We used around 150 LBS of venison, 100 LBS of beef and 50 LBS of lamb.

We used 2.5lbs casings and filled them to about 3.5lbs. Hive account@shalomacres had an awesome pneumatic stuffer that worked great.

Altogether we made about 280lbs or so of the 2.5 casings and around 20lbs of the "little smokies" (kinda like a large slim-jim).

As we were filling the casings the boys went out and hung them in the smoker.
