I have been making my own sausage for years and have always been very frustrated with Breakfast sausage casings until now… after just soaking for a couple of hours I had no problem sliding them over the stuffing tube and had Zero Blow-outs.. a great product…

Sheep casing can be a pain to work with at times, but I find the product from Sausage Maker to be an easier casing to stuff than others I have used. Most likely due to the packaging they use and the storage containers.

Arrived quickly and packaged well. Casings were well salted and packed in a plastic bag inside a jar with tamper-proof lid.
I’ve stuffed about eight pounds of breakfast links so far. Rinsed casings inside and out, soaking in cold water for about a half hour before filling.
The casings are super smooth and supple – indiscernible from fresh. Average length is about six feet. No holes or blemishes. Highly recommended!

Very easy & convenient to order from the catalog. Sales Rep was very helpful & kind. She recorded my contact information perfectly and I didn’t have to spell anything twice. I was impressed because that’s very uncommon these days. She confirmed all all of the items ordered and everything arrived a few days later.
