I don’t remember if mine is the 1/2 or 3/4 but it’s a great grinder. Use it for stuffing sausage too and have had no issues. Need to get a foot switch this year, it grinds deer and pigs up fast

Cabelas 1 3/4 HP. It will grind as fast as you can feed it.

size depends on how many animals you are going to process. My family does 8 to 10 animals and we have a size 22 with a 1 hp motor. It is used for grinding meat and stuffing sausage. It will grind as fast as you can load it. If you are only going to do a couple animals a size 12 would probably be enough. Westin, Cabela's and LEM are all good brands. If I were to buy another it would probably be from LEM. Whichever one you decide on, make sure you keep your meat super cold and it will grind much better. I would stay away from the low end small grinders as they can be really slow and the meat has to be cut up pretty small to fit in the throat.

Thank you. It will probably be only 2 to 3 at most at a time.

I use a Weston #32 2hp. Works great.

remember also that Cabelas/ Bass Pro usually have grinder sales around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The Cabela's carnivore grinders have a really good snack stick funnel system if you are going to make snack sticks.

If your wife has a Kitchen aide mixer just get the grinder attachment for it. It works great and saves on space and money. Otherwise go with what everyone said.

I burned up my wife's kitchen aid mixer with the grinder attachment. She was not happy.

I have the Cabelas Carnivore 1HP. It will grind as fast as you can feed and I got the tenderizer attachment for great chicken friend steaks.

This what I own if you decide you want to buy in the lifetime category. Beast it is

bought ours over 25 years ago,we do @10 deer a year plus some cow meat,never had a problem with it. LEM has good units also

This! You'll save lots and get at least a 1/2 hp with a foot switch.
Once you get a decent grinder you'll use it more than you think.
You can make your own breakfast sausage when butts are on sale, not just for deer and game.

Not a recommendation but this worked in a pinch last winter when my electric meat grinder died.
Ground 3 deer with this setup that day.

I am definitely going to try this out this year instead of doing it by hand! Lol

My biggest mistake with a meat grinder - was not understanding how cheaply a local butcher would grind meat into burger for me!

I think my grinder is an LEM, used it for years and for some reason it started breaking cutters. Of course who has a spare, right?

So off to the local butcher to finish the job and sticker shock on how little they charged to grind & package burger.

Of course what you take to a butcher can make a huge difference - some make a killing on skinning a deer. But just boned out meat......

My grinder has gathered dust ever since.
