 Firstly, all the meat goes through the course plate
 Pork Fat = 30%

 Meat and pork fat running through the mincer- 1 X course plate, 1 X medium plate then 2 X fine plate till its a sticky pale colour.

 Then the fun of running the mixture into the skins- skins are dry before mixture then splash a little water over once filled

How can a month go past so fast, I have harvested 2 of my chooks from the back yard and made soup and meatloaf with them. its not the nicest thing to have to do but I know they have lived a lot better life than bard raised chooks. (No photos)

My Beef at the moment is ingredent labels using the word Aqua instead of water- grrrrrr

Currently looking for a new home to settle into then i will be able to post some good stuff about building up the family Larder

well what can I say delicious! A wild animal harvested Sambar Deer, very sustainably- Never known a  fence or cage living a carefree life then..., of course we also added home grown, tomatoe puree, garlic, onion, oregano and carrots

not quite wild harvested, but !!!- Ebay harvested Hitec's $25 Bargain- they were nearly brand new



Harvested Plums and custard cake

A wet Sunday arvo in Gippsland- what can I do- Why not do the mince venison!.


Sounds like a plan lucky my old butchering skills can be of some use. 

Meat already run through on the course plate, doing this will make it easier for the mincer to pass the actual meat pieces through instead of running it through on the fine plate- it stops it getting hot 

Course mince being put back through the fine plate

Hmm looks just like I used to do at work

1.6 kg this is just part of the animal- I will work it our for you all just how much we get.

frozen rump steak - slightly thawed so I can cut it up into steaks

The old Victorknox, still working for me, I have had it since 1990

Close up of the venison rump- see any Fat- me neither!
