I know it depends on the herbs and spices and the skill of the maker, but some of the best sausage I ever ate was 1/3 pork, 1/3 beef, and 1/3 venison. I think sausage benefits from the fat in pork but it does not have to be limited to pork only.
Just stirring things up.

Of course, I agree.
The same reasoning of "stirring things up" can be applied to beef meatloaf.
I think it is much better with 1/3rd or more ground turkey

Back when I hunted, I bought a whole beef brisket to grind with the deer meat. Just enough fat to make it perfect.

My uncle was a logger and was up in the mountains of northern California all the time. Hunting success for deer was a given and the bag limit was 2.
Auntie would turn an entire deer into mincemeat and can it. She had a source for beef suet and would use that as an ingredient - raisins, diced apples, spices, sugar ... I think that was about it.
Of course we would have mincemeat pie when visiting but mincemeat was also served as a side dish with other things. They didn't live too far away, about a 2 hour drive. Almost a guarantee that we would be served mincemeat. Sounds like a good idea on this dreary, cold November day - how about a bowl of soup and a serving of mincemeat?

We had our 3 granddaughters for the weekend. We sure enjoyed them. Their parents went to check out Oklahoma because DD has a possible job offer. Nope, we ain’t going to Oklahoma!
The little girls had fun with the sheep, feeding them corn.
Papaw gave up his TV for cartoons. LOL

It probably is not much longer of a drive to OK as it is to West TX.

Will the OK location be slightly closer (need to go look at a US map now)?
They are such darlings! I love their faces and want to smooch them! (the humans, not the sheep)

IF she gets this position, they would be 1 hour closer. We made it clear, we are NOT moving to Oklahoma! LOL
