I've used a hand crank model for years, but decided I wanted an electric one after I borrowed my Mum's last fall to process two deer. :o What a difference it made!

My shoulders bother me sometimes. I had one rotator cuff injury on the right side, and damaged a ligament on the left side, so sometimes they hurt. I wanted my own electric grinder so I wouldn't have to borrow Mum's. I bought it at Academy, it seems like a good one.

I often don't grind all the deer into burger or chili meat right away. I often separate the hindquarters into what I call 'roasts' and freeze them. Sometimes I cook them as roasts, but when autumn starts getting near, I usually excavate the freezer, remove all the roasts that are left and grind them up into burger/chili meat, because I do use a lot of ground meat.

I just got a bunch out of the freezer and it's all sitting in the sink, should be partially thawed by morning. Supposed to be 101F out tomorrow, I think I'm going to spend part of the morning testing out my new grinder.

Could not find a used one at any resale shops so was forced to buy new :'(

My wife's Kitchen Aid mixer has a grinding attachment on it. Hadn't though of trying it until we get some pigs or cows. Maybe if I get a deer this year I'll try it.
