looks amazing ken - labor of love!!!    My OCD kicked in and wanted to calculate the fat content of the burgers.

Total meat / fat weight 40.5 lbs.    3.5 lbs is  about 8.5% fat which is a pretty lean burger overall. 

Most beef burgers in store are 15 - 25% fat. 

I know it might be considered blasphemous but I'm not a big fan of fat. Never have been. When I eat a ribeye I leave half of it on my plate when  I'm done. I use 10% of the venison weight. That's enough to bind the patty together and keep it nice and moist when cooked medium rare.

Looks good, for around 10years now I have been adding pork suet instead of beef. Makes a world of difference

What?  You haven't bought burgers in a while.  The most amount of fat you can get in ground beef is 20%.  Most burgers are 15%, with 5%-10% also available.  And more fat in a burger is a good thing.  You'll have a tastier and moister burger with fat than a lean one.  When it comes to meats, fat is your friend.

The more fat the better!!! It the bread you put your burger that is killing you

ok so where are you getting beef fat or pork fat from? Shoprite? Butcher?

I buy bacon when it is on sale. I freeze it first and then put it thru the grinder, and then back in the freezer. That way it mixes evenly with the venison chunks when I grind that.

Slayer1962 call your local Shoprite and talk to the butcher. My Shoprite butcher needs at least an hour to give me the beef fat that I need. I personally like the beef fat instead of the pork fat as well and use 20% as my ratio.
