Exclamation Sausage, Casing, Spice Mix, Pork Trim, and good Sausage Recipes?

Lets talk Sausage

Looking for great sausage recipes for deer/elk/moose?

Also, i found a great place to buy cheap pork trim. Consumer Direct Meats in Calgary off Peigan & 52.
Paid 1.35lb for Maple Leaf pork trim 60/40, 60lb case was 81.00
also bought a case of pork butts, they run around 85-90lean, paid 2.18lb, 52lb case was 113.36
Way better than I paid in the past.

Any other good places to buy trim or good sausage mix?

Default Sausage

That's very cheap for trim..i was quoted $2.50 lb for 60% and $3.00 for 80%. I thought that a little Expensive! So, I went to Wholesale Foods off Barlow and 27th NE I believe..2 Whole Pork Loins for about $2.00 Lb..I Mixed 50/50 with Whitetail and it made excellent Pepperoni and Fresh Honey Garlic..I buy the Pre-mix packets from D&R Halford Hide and Leather NE Calgary.. They have a Whole Wall of Sausage Mixes...I like the "add 23 lbs of meat and 1 lb of water"
aspect..No Guessing and I have made excellent Sausage from them..

We are fairly lucky when it comes to pork, raise our own organic hog and sows.. I keep all the pure fat and use in our sausage, 80% wild with 20% pure pork fat..

We build our own spices and process everything we tip over

We just processed 175 lbs of Moose & Elk trim into sausage. I got a 50 lb box of trim for $95 from a person who works at Olymel. The spices i got from Butcher supply to make the Chorizo was under proportion for each 25 lb batch but the premixed spices i got from Big Bend Market , which comes from Halford were Excellent.
I also tried the synthetic casings this year and they worked awesome..
