    What ratio for breakfast sausage?

    I am going to grind some breakfast sausage this afternoon. I have deer meat, pork, and fat. What is the preferred ratio of deer to pork before I add the fat?
    Then what ratio of fat would you add?

    Thanks in advance!

      I've always done mine 50/50 using pork butts.

        Is this lean pork you are talking about, like pork from a feral hog?

        For pan sausage, I shoot for 20-25% fat. That usually means 60/40 on Deer/Pork Butt. I like the taste of venison... and try not to drown it out if I can avoid it... so if I just have pork fat, I'd go 75/25 Deer/Fat. But... I don't have a lot of success finding good pork fat trim, so I just usually mix it with the pork butt/shoulder.

        If I have feral hog, I usually just make hog sausage... which again is 60/40 Feral/Pork Butt.

                I do 50/50 and don't add any additional fat.

                  60/40 here as well, but I add a small amount of peppered bacon end pieces for the flavor. Just don’t add too much as it will over power the taste of you do

                    The pork is lean pork, blackstrap and hams. 60% deer, 40% pork, then 20-25% fat?
                    That sound about right?

                      I do 50/50. Grind, season and bag.

                          50/50. Half for me and the other half for myself!
