Harvested from North America Hogs ONLY. The quality is the same that you would get from buying a whole hank (standard commercial amount) from The Sausage Maker but in small, more manageable quantities pieces. These casings vary in size and lengths, often called ‘shorts’, as they are clipped sections that would otherwise have made a standard hank, too long. Make high quality Sausage at Home with our Casings without the high-end price!
