My dad and I started doing venison sausage every Thanksgiving. Hopefully its fresh venison but it works well with leftovers from the freezer making room for more venison or sausage
We'll make some smoked Andouille at the same time and let it age in the fridge until New Years then make a heaping big pot of Jambalaya.
Every Memorial Day I grill up 5# of homemade brats and who ever wants one comes and gets some.
