Snack Stick Beef/Pork?

[GatorAGR]

Any thoughts on a Beef:Pork ratio for snack sticks? Trying to cut costs by mixing a little Pork butt in with my Chuck roast, but still want good snack stick flavor. Beef prices have killed my sausage making lately.

I normally do all pork . Plenty of flavor for me . So I would think any mix would be fine .

I agree with Rich...

Great! And honestly even better. Hadn't even considered going all pork. Thanks guys.

I have always liked beef or Venison and beef sticks. Both meats not rare to me.
Last year Keith JckDanls 07 introduced me to all pork sticks. Very tasty.

Use brisket and buy boneless pork shoulder to cut costs

I have always used 50/50 lean beef and lean pork. Always turned out great.

There is some good stuff out there outside of the classic beef snack stick. I highly suggest you check out kabanosy to start with. Don't run sticks but do run a TON of summer sausage and found cutting with pork actually made it better than all beef. I like 50/50. I bet a stick would be the same. Pork gave it better texture and mouthfeel.
