Bottom of Freezer

[Laelkhunter]

The one wildcard to think about is if there's fat ,fat doesn't freeze and will go rancid over time. That said ,I've had beef pot roast cuts that had some fat on it 3 years old and it wasn't bad at all. But it's situational

My elk sausage is 50% ground elk and 50% ground pork butt, which has a lot of fat in it. I have eaten sausage at least three years old, and haven't noticed a decline in the quality. I think the idea is to keep it well frozen until ready to use.
