Yes I would agree Butcher your own!

As for me I made a little investment with a few guys I hunt with often, well to be honest I gave them no alternative..

We all chipped in on a item I sale and market to hunters, clubs etc. for a minimal cost.

Meat Band Saw/Grinder/Sausage Stuffer
Stainless Steel roller moving table (23.5" X 18.5" ) with 18" movement groove to allow you to easliy cut even the largest pieces of meat.
Band saw cut capacity = 9.4" Thick X 9.9" High.
Heavy-Duty steel construction.
110V, 3/4 hp, 550W motor.
Blade - 5/8" width X 2085mmlong X 4 teeth per inch.
Motorized meat grinder with sausage stuffing tube.
Grinder plate size approx. = 2-3/4" diameter with 3/16" holes.
Blade guides and rear blade bearing rollers.
Guide fences for saw.
Grinder feed pusher.
Overall height approx. = 58"

This unit I distribute wholesale @ 300.00 + shipping

It' s been a great asset to us thus far! Us as in the guys I hunt with of course we got it below cost. Nevertheless a few others followed saved us a lot of time processing.

Just thought I would leave a comment or a FYI for those interested, I will have 3 in stock 8/20/2003 of course as we get closer to the season demand becomes greater.
