PORK
I have been told to process venison & pork twice a year acct pork tends to turn a to a more rancid tast after 6 months. So only make as muchpork and venison mix products that you can use in 6 months. Is this a meat, fat, or packaging issue.

I believe its a packaging issue. I used to also find the pork fat changed its taste after 6 months when I was wraping with butcher paper. I now use a vacumm sealer and things are good for more than a year!

RE: PORK
If you need fat with your venison, you may try adding beef fat. I find that pork fat is quite expensive here, being sold at the same price as sausage. This make sense because it all would be going into the sausage anyway and the butcher does not wish to sell it at a loss.
Beef fat (trimmings) is usually thrown away so the meat counter at our local grocery sells it for a dollar a pound or less. The resulting hamburger, when it is mixed with venison, looks and tastes like regular beef burger.

I try to grind up what I'll use in 3 months and leave the rest in chunks that Ivacum pak.I then make small batches as needed . Pork only goes in my meatloaf or meatball mix , along with beef fat. Other than that all the rest of the ground gets just beef fat.

We have done this too. Bacon ends were cheaper than plain pork fat, a lot cheaper. It does make a good burger and breakfast sausage too.

RE: PORK
thanks for the info, the guys around here buybone less pork shoulder by the box approx 60# for their processing. I like the idea of doing small batches maybe beacon ends or I just bought a sifted show hog carcase and have40 1# packages of ground pork to use and give out to the family
