SUMMER SAUSAGE

[Damlog]

Hello

Looking for suggestions on local butcher shops in the Waterloo, Ontario area that will make summer sausage with my venison.....any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated.

There is a butcher out near Ariss I strongly recommend against. We took a deer there once, but would never go there again. The shop is pretty filthy and the deer cuts we got back looked like they were dragged across the parking lot before they wrapped them. Awful. We'd brought them a clean deer and I'm not even sure we got our own deer back.

That experience is why we now butcher our own.

I'd love to find a good place to get sausage done too!

I do all my own butchering, the place I was using for sausage does not do it anymore. I need to find a new place.....I will let you know when I find a good one.

Nice harvest this weekend, I saw your pictures. I as well harvested my first buck Saturday morning.

It's a bit of a drive to Atwood, but well worth it. I highly recommend this place. You will not be dissapointed!!

Called them today. They're doing run on Friday so we'll take in some meat tomorrow or Wed.

Damlog - could carpool or something if you've got meat butchered by tomorrow. TPM is off all week and could drive up in the afternoon. (They want deboned meat).

Hey Vix where are you located? I was planning n droping mine off tomorrow at 7:30am when they open. Figured I could do it on my way to work.

[VixChix]

Cool. I can't PM you for some reason.
But I can receive your PMs. send me your email address in a pm.

Can save you a drive, earlydale meat between Elmira and floradale. Bit hesitant to recommend as I've yet to use them but will this year as several friends have had outstanding (IMO) product from '10 & '11.

I thought they stopped processing wild game due to fed regs . Good sausage from there too

If processing your own take a look at Hi Mountian cure's made very good summer sausage and jerky on very 1'st try ,, I left out about half of the cure and increased the spice content ,, had many people bragging on both jerky and sausage ,, smoked sausage on a smoker for about 2 hours or so with mesquite at 195 / 200 degrees .

I too am having trouble finding a good sausage maker. The place I really liked has been out of business for the last 2 years and I've tried a few others durinig that period. None were to my satisfaction.

When I next go to the Big Smoke, I'll stop in at "Yes Group" meat processing store in Markum and pick up some spice mixes. This is where my 'now closed' butcher got his spices. Honey garlic for fresh sausage and the Summer sausage mix.

Then to work.
