    - Beef sticks
    - Bison sticks
    - Elk sticks
    - Venison sticks
    - Lamb sticks

    I commend your practices in good hygiene, as well as the tasty food you make. I am a cancer patient on a chemotherapy medication and have had to stop buying supermarket meat- and any takeaway food- because the slightest bug, that the average dietary can deal with via the immune system, causes me to be very sick. Unfortunately there are few local butchers around anymore. Keep up the great work. Maybe with your knife skills, we could see if a sheep or pigs liver would work in me.

    I just got a package of some venison and cheese smoked snack sticks from a friend of mine, he picked them up from the processor a few days ago. He's gotta have at least 15-20 pounds in snack sticks alone, I think he got 2 deer this past season. I also got a few chops from him as well, it's sure nice having friends and family who hunt and/or raise cattle
