N, That is a LOAD of casings ! :)

I started with collagen casings then went to sheep for sticks. I have been happy with them, but on this last batch I was using a less expensive home pack of casings and found the diameters had a lot of variation this time. Luckily my new temp gauge has several probes so was able to pull the thinner ones out of the heat before overcooking much, but still that diameter variety is a problem.

I also recently bought a whole hank of sheep casings and I think they are much more uniform, in which case I'm happy again, but that hank was $59. That box of collagens had to cost a lot less per unit; should I be considering using collagen again, or give them a try again? Or is the sheep better for snap and quality and since I'm not making all that much sausage the price isn't going to be that big a difference? Thanks for any input on this one.

The sheep are good. Had some tubed sheep issues at the bbq, prob my fault.

Here is how you can tell if your collagen are fresh. Notice the oil marks on the divider boards.
