So i want to try something different with my processing this year and i am curious if anyone has tried this. I am going to make sausage but what i want to do is roughly 70% venison, 10% wild hog and 20% brisket. The brisket is the new thing but i think if i can find the fatty briskets i should get the fat content i need and it will make it super juicy and change the flavor profile just enough to make it different. Anyone used brisket in their sausage before?

yes it is a little pricy but since i am not and have never used a processor the added savings of doing it myself makes it not so bad.

I might go 60/20/20. I just like a little more fat in my sausage.

We use 75% Deer, 25% Brisket in our ground venison. We find that it has just enough fat that it browns really well without having so much Brisket that it drives cost out of sight. We also check for specials and buy a couple when the price is good. Cube them up and package in 5lb packages. We do the same thing with the deer thru the season. Makes it real easy when it is time to break out the ginders.

My uncles sausage recipe calls for 50% deer 25% pork and 25% beef. Its not bad but I prefer it without the beef personally.

I've thought about it, but never tried adding brisket. The hard fat (like the deckle on a brisket & most of the fat cap) doesn't render very well so I've always been scared to try it. Last year I even saved the fat off of a couple of briskets and bought 5 more lbs of beef fat from the local butcher to grind for a sample batch of deer sausage, but ended up changing my mind and feeding it to my pig dogs grin Maybe I'm missing out, I dunno. I use pork fat instead.

I think if ground the hard fat will render on beef, It typically doesn't on a brisket because it is in too big of a chunk.

We have made beef/pork jap and cheese sausage for the grill and the beef fat rendered fine.

Pork fat holds up better over time than beef fat. If you aren't going to eat it in < 3-6 months I'd go straight pork.

Guess I'm a "Po Boy" but the brisket is out. Save that for Q. I'd get cheap pork shoulder and add that. I had some where the guy had added a little minced carrot and tomato sauce/ketchup in with the venison/pork and it was very good but he wouldn't share the magic recipe.
