Tender
Sheep casings are the softest and most tender among all the other types of natural casings. Their elasticity makes them quite malleable to expansion without splitting.

After requesting an expedited order, Meghan did her best to get it to me on time for Mother’s Day and sausage was ready for the family when they arrived. Thanks again.

I love ordering from Sausage Maker! Their variety is incredible and service outstanding!
If making thin sausage, I would recommend using 22-24mm casings because the 20-22mm casings tend to hang up on the feeder tube of my sausage stuffer. Worked great but takes extra care to not burst link!

I make a venison breakfast sausage using Sausage Makers breakfast seasoning blend and these casings. I usually have to fry up double batches to keep everyone happy. Great size, a little trickier to work with, and pricier than Hog casing, but absolutely a must have if you are a pro.

Casings were really knotted up in the container. Took a long time to separate individual casings. I’m not experienced enough to know if this is standard. Once they were separated though, they worked like a charm.
