Mother of glob....dont trim any fat off a shoulder.
Todays shoulders are so lean....I dont think they add enough fat to the venison mix.
Best to keep some pork bellies around.
Are you speaking of uncured bacon basically.
Yes.
I find shoulders too lean.....bellies are fattier.
I like at least 50 percent venison in my sausages though. 60 percent is good too.
Have gone to 75 percent...because I like venison.
