48 # of ground venison!

Last week, my husband bagged a nice deer for us. This is the first one he’s ever gotten. It was very exciting and very welcome. The whole idea is so we can have healthy meat to eat and can save money. We didn’t want to pay for processing, so we decided to turn it all into ground meat.
It hung, in the garage, for four days, and we were blessed with nice cool weather, between about 30 and 40 degrees, so it was perfect. Today, he took the meat off of the bones, cut it into chunks for me and then I put it through a grinder that attaches to my Kitchenaide mixer.
Then I packed it into freezer bags, 1 # in each bag and put them in the deep freeze. I froze 45 pounds of the meat.
Two pounds of it was made into jerkey. It is in the dehydrator right now. The other pound we had for lunch. Yummy!
When he took the meat off of the bones, he dropped the pieces into an old cooler that I had sterilized. Here is how it looked. Not very pretty, but so much food!
And here is about 12 pounds of it all ground up.
I am very grateful to have all of this food. It was a big job, because we don’t really know what we’re doing, yet, but in the end, it worked out just fine.
