Natural Sheep Casings Home Pack Size

I read all of the reviews and was really hesitant about buying this, since I am a newbie to making sausage. My husband and I started off with the hog casing by same manufacturer and had pretty good luck. We decided to be adventuresome and try breakfast sausage. We had success!! One thing I read was when you flush the casing, since it is so small, use your smallest funnel and slide it into the open end of the casing. It made it so much easier to flush out the inside of the casing. The next thing I found is while you are flushing it, to keep it from trying to slide down the drain because it is so small, put the drain plug in. If you have a stopper it works better so it won't nick the casing. Once rinsed I left the casing to soak in a cup of water overnight in the fridge. The next day, when ready to use the casing, I rinsed it one more time with warm water and let it sit for a half hour. It was nice and slippery, held up nicely to thread onto the stuffing horn. As long as I didn't over stuff the casing I had no problems with blow-outs. I have used several of these casings at different times and have only come across one pinhole. All in all, I would recommend this casing for use in sausage making, it really wasn't that bad to work with. As for the smell, once it is refrigerated for a while, the smell really dissipates (it is really bad when you first open the package!). The casing cooks up well, nice snap and doesn't split, even when over cooked. So far, it has worked well for both breakfast sausage and frankfurters, the lengths on the casings do vary quite a bit but we just measured it before we soaked it so we knew how much to soak. It was kind of nice to have different lengths to work with so we didn't have to cut them, we could pick out the lengths we need.

Good product, I did Merguez sausage and it was fine. I little more fragile than porc casing but not bad overall. Being lamb, it does smell when you open the package, so make sure to clean them extra

I've used this company's pork casings with no issues over the years, so wanted to try the lamb for smaller sausage. Like others have said, there is a distinct smell of rot (smell of day old turds + decomp). I soaked for a couple days in the fridge which helped but didn't completely eliminate. Stuffing was a PITA. Small, dang near impossible to get on the horn and generally a tangled mess. If I do this again, definitely going with a different brand. I'm making droerwors, so we'll see if the drying helps to mummify the rotting corpse encasing my meat.

These worked great for making game meat dogs. The cost is a bit prohibitive though.

I have sourced sheep casings from Amazon but from different suppliers on a number of occasions. Outcomes varied from ok to terrible. One of my previous orders were not cleaned properly during processing and was tough as old leather. Value and price are not coupled with this kind of product, unfortunately. The product from Oversea Casings was excellent for making droewors. They rinsed out easily and well and were easy to get onto the stuffing horn. Stuffing the casing was without any trouble and no blowouts occurred. The sausage dried out uniformly and the casing shrunk down appropriately. I recommend this supplier to anyone wanting to make the king of snap sticks.
