Thread: Economics of your own meat grinder

No fat of any kind gets wasted at our house. I have a good 50kg or so in the freezer. Game fat like deer fat is extemely good for you, the more yellow the better. Grazing animals eat herbs and mixed fodder and store nutrients in their fat, some of which are hard to come by. Good for old knees. Render it and it will keep well.

I just butchered a prime cow. 600kg+ animal. Instead of having the butcher do it I did it myself and we bought a mincer and sausage maker. Wife can do small goods.

She tracked down this as supposedly the best for game meat, it has a metal gearbox and they ship to NZ.

She will make sausages and burger patties. Everything will get broke down, even the bone marrow.

She can also make salamis but demands a sellar. I'm thinking about a small cob room. Might work.
