Nice looking links Big Guy, I was thinking of trying the tubed sheep casings, how did they work out for you?

[Big Guy]

They worked great. Just soak slip onto your stuffing tube and go. No untangling needed. For small fresh sausages they are the way to go. Well worth the extra to have some one else untangle. Another benifit , they are all the same diameter. In hanks I usually got a mixture of diameters.
I had a hard time finding tubed sheep cases, lots of hog sized ones but a friend directed me to the "Syracuse Casing Co." and they supplied them, with free shipping too.

Thanks for the info Big Guy, after the wrestling match I had with my last hank of sheep casings I was determined to find a better way

Hi,
I have used these tubed casings a few times now and I am impressed. with them.
I do flush them through though as I like to be sure that the insides are super clean.
I bought them from a local butcher for $ 5.00 a tube as a trial.
It's a pity that I still have heaps of salted #32 pig casings.

Jan.
