Sorry if I go off topic, but I want to make a general statement here, please bear with me. I like this site because it has people like me who want to do their own thing. Like making their own boolits, (even using those J-bullets) reloading, working up their own loads, etc. Making sausage is the same thing. Using those things for our own tastes, blends and methods. Making things for themselves or their families that they know what is in it. An act of love, for those that you love. Processing your own meat, making your own sausage, boolits, loads, etc. is a work intensive, time consuming process, but an act of love for those that mean something to you. I was raised by people who worked long and hard for me, and I realized that early on. I see that in people in this site--why I love it!
