Anyone used one? I don't have a ton of venison to grind as I cube everything that's big enough. Therefore there's no way I'm spending a bunch on a electric grinder. Has anyone used one? Thinking a Weston #8 or #10.

Go on Craigslist and buy a used one at a minimum. If you’re going to be serious about butchering animals, you’ll need a grinder eventually.
If you have a kitchen aide they make a nice attachment for grinding burger. Better than the hand crank which I have also used.
'Not sure when the sale is, but I bought the Cabela's large 1.75 hp grinder on sale several years ago, and it will flat grind elk trim into burger in no time. However, it is really heavy and somewhat difficult to move when assembled. I would recommend buying a somewhat smaller model, which will also grind meat quickly. That grinder was a great investment.Anyone one remember when cabelas has their annual grinder sale? I know I see them on sale each year at pretty good discount.

You took your scraps to a local butcher for grinding? That's a good idea, something that I've never thought about. About what did they charge? I've always done all my animals, but unless I have access to my parents meat grinder I might consider taking scraps to a butcher for grinding.
