    I am going to be making ring bologna, brats, wieners, breakfast sausage, and summer sausage this weekend. What do you guys recommend for a percentage of pork butts to add? Thanks, WTA

    I usually request 10% added by the processor.

    For this type of stuff I would say 1/3+ pork, but for straight burger I have done about 10% just to get the fat content up and the game flavor out….

    If you have kids eating hotdogs, I have found 40% pork, goes a long ways in not only stretching the venison, but making them quite tasty too

    When we made our summer sausage right in our oven we got our pork trimmings by the box, pork fat and pork meat. The butcher we bougt it from said around %10 trimmings or it would be too dry. We followed his recipie and it came out just like the summer sausage they made there at thier store. We bought the casings, spices etc. and followed his directions they used in thier smoke house, It turned out very good.
