When i take my venison trimmings in to be ground up my butcher shop adds 1/3 pork. The idea is that venison is so lean you need some fattier meat in there to get it to stay together when you cook it. Do any of you have beef added? Or pork in a different ratio? Or do you not add anything?

Your butcher shop is doing you a favor. You can do it yourself but do it before frozen. Venison is lean, a little fat is what Americans like, but being lean is what makes wild game better for humans health. Something the PETA people won't discuss.

I grind my own and I don't add anything because I mostly use it for tacos, chili, and sloppy joes, but the way I grind it, it will not make a patty and stay together. You can add bread crumbs and an egg if you want burgers, or just add the fat when you grind it. In that instance, I would use pork. How can you go wrong with pork fat?

I tried it last year and had the butcher add pork fat to half and ground beef to the other half. I think that it actually takes flavor away. I won't have it added again. Never had any problems making or cooking anything when fat or ground beef wasn't added, so from now on it will be just deer meat. But everyones tastes are different so dont let me discourage you, you should try it for yourself.
