Just an FYI, I just ordered some stuff from their store, I just want to say to everyone it’s high quality and I am super excited to use it!! But have to wait till Christmas as my wife took it and boxed it up!!

We hope you enjoy and Merry Christmas to you

Thank you Merry Christmas to you all. Including the 4 footed!🎄

I've been processing my own meat for 30 years. Both wild game and domestic. It's nice to know what I'm feeding my family

[@girlinawolfhoodiewolf2426]

Do you have any tips for someone who wants to start? I don't know where to begin and how to prepare eating something I raised.

[@ChirpyMike]

We send our beef out, but we process all our own deer.

[@davidbuben3262]

@@girlinawolfhoodiewolf2426 Learn to can your own food, if you don't already know. If you do, then your half way there. Pressure cook 2 or 3 whole chickens. Then pressure can them, and all the wonderful stock. You'll be in heaven when you start eating and using that stock for recipes. Like risotto.

Happy holidays yall 🫡

[@lukepeters6346]

Great video...I like to cube the meat, put the seasonings on it and put it in the fridge overnight, then run it through the grinder. I find I get a better distribution of the seasoning and don't breakdown the fat.

[@davidbuben3262]

Great, great idea. Dry brine for sausage. Thanks Luke.

[@duanehenicke6602]

I've always seasoned before the grind. Not sure where or when the seasoning afterwards got started. 🤔

[@johnthompson4162]

Thanks for the sausage making tips. Looks great!! Always appreciate your helpful tips. You are always very conscientious and concerned about doing things the best they can be done. Also you always are considerate of others taste and preferences. Its great to have you all around, Ken and Shannon!!! Merry Christmas!! John T.

[@mrs.g.9816]

I've been making my own hot sage pork sausage for years. The ground pork sold in the supermarkets lack enough fat, so I use reserved bacon fat, which adds a touch of smokiness. This is a great time of year for anything with lots of sage in it! Merry Christmas, Kent and Shannon! 🎄

[@dr.who2]

Nothing better grew up with deer meet and wild game have fun God bless

[@Celtics-fj5le]

Merry Christmas everyone watching, God bless our beautiful world

[@andrewgable7273]

Sage sausage is the best!!!! Thanks for this too!!! BTW, LOVE that hat!! Nice and dirty, just the way God intended. Also makes for some "seasoning" if you run short in the kitchen!!!! Lol!!!!!!! God bless the 2 of you, have a Merry Christmas, and I will see you in the next vid.

[@josephtravers777]

Started cutting venison w/ bacon ends to save $$ years ago, Kent. Used to use Boston butt cut but the box of ends gives the fat to bind and the pork flavor. Always enjoy your channel. God bless you.

[@saltyspirateden]

venison pork sausage has been one of my favorites since the ealry 1960s, expecially when spiced as chorizo, or, as my late uncle Gary made it into a dry, aged salami, I wish some of the cousins would have taken an interest, unfortunately I lived too far away, but that venison/pork salami was amazing

[@timlintemuth8860]

Thanks for the recipe but touched me you thanked me a Veteran of foreign war. My hat to you sir! Liked and subscribed! More venison education needed for me. Ty!

[@neilsimmmons5251]

I’m so excited for this sausage and most of all Bob Wills and the Texas playboys, for background music! Kent your fantastic!!

[@jakemitchell1671]

You're cooking with gas now Cowboy Kent!! I LOVE these wild game recipe videos! My family doesn't eat much beef and other supermarket fare, but we do our best to stock our freezers with deer and other wild game. I"ve got two deer on my processing table right now, and I think I'll be making some deer sausage tonight!!!!

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

YAY! You just answered my question as to what type of ground pork to ask the butcher for so I can make German Meatloaf. It uses 1 1/2 lbs of Ground beef, 1/2 lb Ground pork. Had zero clue what part of the pig to ask the butcher for.

[@moto3463]

Looks amazing Kent glad you’re on the mend wishing you and your family a healthy & happy Christmas and New Years. Keep it up

You must have read my mind. I was looking for a sausage recipe. Opened my phone and there you are in my recommended videos. I'm going to use your recipe. Thank you .

[@contemporaryprimitiveman3469]

I’ve been making my own for years. I call the local grocer and have them save me the untrimmed pork butt. They get them in vac sealed 2 per package (13-17 pounds) then trim them and put them out individually. I want them before trimming and use 3# to 7# venison for each 10 pound batch. I usually make 20-30 pounds a year.

[@jeffgray8476]

Love your videos! I've been making my own sausage for many years and I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you Mr. Rollins. Never change. God bless you cowboy.

[@joelbiller1786]

Thank you Cowboy Kent for sharing your wealth of knowledge of butchering, cooking, and cast iron care. I appreciate and enjoy seeing people use cast iron because it reminds us of what America was built on. I enjoy seeing new videos every week. Keep up the good work.

[@allanhitchmoth3099]

I just can not watch you without getting hungry! God Bless, and have a VERRY Merry (and Safe) Christimas!

[@chicagorandy]

For the past year or so, I've taken up sausage making as a retirement fun passtime, Mostly pork - breakfast, Italian and Polish sausage. Now and then I'll do a beef summer sausage too. It's is very enjoyable to be able to customize the finished product to MY tastes and to know exactly what natural ingredients are in there, no wacky chemicals or who knows what. Thanks for sharing the recipe and the tips. Good eats says I.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Now you're talking how to stretch venison. Thanks for sharing with Kent and Shannon , sure would enjoy a plate of that on a chilly winters evening with some fresh made biscuits and maybe some pepperedy gravy . Stay safe and enjoy the holidays. Fred.

[@stevetaylor9265]

I make my own bratwurst every year, a good tote like a rubber made works great for mixing with the tall sides. If you have to you can put it in the fridge simply buy putting the lid on. I make about 30lbs at a time though so maybe it's just me.

Loooove sausage. Great recipe and song

[@railfan439]

A hint, after you got your spice recipe down pat, cut up the venison, and the pork chunks, and mix 'em up. Then sprinkle on the spices. Then put everything through the grinder at once. The spices will be mixed as well as the meats. Saves churning them up later. Thanks for the video. Jon

[@ianjoe6699]

Cowboy, this brings back wonderful memories. The day after hog killing day was sausage making day. I got into a bit of trouble cuz i just couldnt wait for Grabdma Hewitt to get there to make sausage. I started adding spices and oh boy! But I learned about making fresh sausage, and how to season it correctly. Enjoy your sausage! Blessings to you and yours ❤️☃️🎅🤶

[@lindastansbury2067]

Years ago one of the reasons I loved December is that a co-worker would go deer hunting and if luck was with him he'd come back with a deer or two. He'd have it processed and I'd get enough deer sausage and links for my freezer to last me six months. Thank you so much for these instructional videos on how to handle and process freshly harvested deer. Only had a general idea about it before; now I know.

[@staceyswelding]

Great video!!!!! I grind straight venison burger all the time just cook the burgers up in butter and cook them slow it will change your mind! Oh and just salt and pepper!

I didn't know that it was easy enough for me to do. Thank you Cowboy Kent, and Miss Shannon.

[@BigboiiTone]

As an Alaskan, I'm very familiar with pretty much every form of meat preservation there is. Jerky is probably my favourite from a survivalist perspective but as an avid cook, I gotta say sausage is my preferred preservation method. The way you can mix up different spices and seasonings and end up with something unique.... It speaks to me

[@donhermance6173]

Looks good. I love grinding my own meats. Be blessed

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

I make my venison sweet Italian sausage with 60% ground venison and 40% ground pork. It is still very lean, yet enough fat to stay together and it is moist. For venison burger, for the grill, I use 1 lb of ground bacon ends to 4 lbs venison burger. With a slab of smoked cheddar cheese, you can't beat it!!

[@rad7965]

That was some delicious looking sausage, needed to be in a homemade biscuit. Have you ever use Texas gunpowder (dried, powdered jalapenos), it will really light up your life.

Had a friend of mine's husband give me about 5 logs of it (he had almost a full freezer of it) but that deer summer sausage was amazing. Eat it with some spray cheese and Ritz crackers (or block cheese if you don't like spray cheese) and that's good eating
