Pork butt prep for sausage

[JuniorBalloon]

When you are using a pork butt for sausage how much clean up of connective tissue do you do? I have not been doing much of anything, but I have noticed some stringy bits that make it through the grinder. I don't really care for them, but am not sure if it's the grinder or the prep. I have a Kitchen aid grinder attachment.

Thanks,

I typically don't eliminate anything that I can get off the bone. I know that my grinder does end up with some stringy bits wrapped around the shaft of the auger but otherwise everything that comes out is cut nicely (unless I use the coarse 1/2" plate).
Are you keeping the meat cold (near frozen) to ensure it is cut and not smooshed through?

Good to know that it doesn't require more cleaning. This last time it wasn't as frozen as usual and was more noticeable. Next time more freezer time.
