How do people generally check the internal temperature of hanging sausage? Do you pierce the fibrous casing?

Never mind, I finally found other posts asking the same question (you have to pierce them).

I usually go straight down from the top into the center.

I indeed went from the top down.  I figured if I did the other way, it would be more likely to have juices come out.  I picked three different locations to probe.
