Get a 1 HP grinder and cut the meat in 1" cubes (near frozen helps). Don't feed too much meat too fast. Get a regular vacuum sealer. And at some point get a hand crank cuber to tenderize the steaks before you vac seal and freeze.

I have a Cabela's Carnivore with the foot pedal and cube steak attachment. Tried to buy a Lem a few years back and they couldn't fill the order. Drove to Cabela's and got this one. I have been very pleased.
I process 5-7 deer a year and this unit will flat perform. Best other purchase is a freezer paper roll stand and a roll of GOOD freezer paper, like the Airloc commercial grade stuff, along with a tape dispenser.
I've got this same unit and a lem #8. The carnivore is worth every penny. It's a bad ass machine.

Hear me now and believe me later. Get the absolute biggest grinder you can afford if you are serious about it.
I process about 5 to 10 deer a year with a friend and much of that is made into breakfast sausage, sometimes over 100lbs at a time. That means multiple times through the grinder and that last grind through the fine plate can take it's time when the meat starts to warm up. Bigger grinders get it done faster and you end up with a better product. Also means less time staring down at a table, dealing with cold meat, cold hands, greasy fat all over. This is very good advice. Makes that second gring lots easier.

Would prefer to grind and cube my own, beef fat has gotten hard to find around me in Pell City. Anyone had any luck locating any?

Honestly, it’s probably a lot easier to just find a new processor. I did my first dozen or so by myself and it’s a pain in the ass. If you’ve got the time, more power to you, but by the time I bought all the supplies to process one and all the time I spent processing it, I don’t think twice about dropping one off at the processor now. Only thing I process on my own now is making some jerky

I ran across a grinder in clearance years ago at Wal mart. $35. I think near $100 or more was the price. Obviously I jumped. It handles 2-4 deer a year no problem. I inherited a commercial Grinder a few years ago. I think the cheap clearance grinder is better. It’s small and easy to operate and clean and it works fast and hard
Don't blame me for your bad decision-
