All,
The Wife and I raise hogs for the freezer.
A lot of our neighbors do as well and they have the full setup of processing equipment.
A few weekends ago we processed about 1300 lbs of swine at our friends properties.
I asked them about their grinding/slicing equipment and was very involved in the process. I have hunted a time or two and have a decent cutlery set...They agreed. Most of the information I got back was that they purchased their equipment at auction/sales over the years and they were very happy with their investment...The one was a used commercial Hobart grinders (big)...the other was a smaller Cabelas unit.
What would you all consider a decent Meat Grinder that could have to grind up to ~200lbs of sausage at a single instance and may have to do this 3-4 times a year...This includes a possible deer in this calculation. Brand suggestions or just what to look for would be a step in the right direction for us.
Also for bacon, the guys seems split on the way they prefer....One just cuts his with a knife into strips...the other uses a meat slicer...Ideas/suggestions?
Thanks
Chris
