Elk brats that aren’t dry?

[Carpool4L]

I make a lot of my own sausage from scratch.

This is my preferred ratio. Works out to roughly 30% fat.

40% lean game
40% pork shoulder
20% pork fat

As a rule I say 20% fat is a minimum for sausage.

So I have started saving all the fat trimmings from beef steaks I have been eating and freezing them.

Plan is to mince the fat like garlic and then mix it into the elk meat prior to stuffing. This sound like something that would work?
