I do more of my own deer every year. I like my ground sausage better than any processor. After buying the grinder, it makes sense to add beef fat and grind deer burger & bacon burger. Still send a few to the processor for link sausage & summer sausage/bologna. May do that myself this year.

When I cut my own, it is done the way I want it. I get my deer. I enjoy the harvest to the table process.

On days when I am busy, lazy or unmotivated the processor is available.
