Jorgy you' re asking the right questions. There must be a reason why some have ground that holds together and others don' t. I had mine ground at a meat company and they told me it was 1/8 (fine) grind. But, your fine grind antelope fell apart, which tells me it' s not the grind size. Was yours vacuumed packed? Moisture content? I' m planning on doing it myself this year ,and also; want to know how to get ground that holds together.
