Which and How Much Fat for Venison Sausage and Burger

[Mashthegas]

80/20 beef suet for burger. 80/20 pork fat for breakfast sausage. Summer sausage, bratwurst ect. I like to do 15 suet/15 pork fat.

For every 30lbs of venison i will add 10lbs of beef fat to it for burgers. If I'm doing it for sausage I do the same except I use Pork fat.

Venison fat will leave that nasty taste. It will turn rancid. I trim allow it off my deer meat before grinding. I add beef trim to my pile for burgers. Sausage gets pork added.

We like 15% fat. Prefer pork but beef will do. Our local supermarket gives it to us for no cost. 15% is enough fat to hold the burgers together but not enough that it runs out of the burger creating a mess.
Your tastes may vary.

If you (we do) are using pork butts when making sausage or bacon they are roughly 30% fat.
