Is it me, or have natural sausage caseings quality gon down over the years. They seem to blow out way more often than they used to, are much shorter, and much more variation in size. Is there a better brand that the typical LEM natural hog caseings that I have always used?

I’ve only made sausage once but I got them from the meat counter at a local grocery store that I know makes their own sausage. I don’t think it was a common order because the butcher looked at me kinda funny when I asked but he went into the back and put some in a container for me.

It's probably not you. My son got a "home pack" from LEM (via Amazon, I think) and they were not good, short and stringy,
I use these pre-tubed hog casings from Craft Butcher's Pantry (Link) Excellent casings and very consistent. A full hank (100Yd) for $29

I picked up a supply from a local butcher. Have had no problems. Getting near the end of that supply I’ve just ordered some from PS Seasonings.

texastweeter and Donw I agree on the texture. That is why I don't use them anymore, but never had a blow out! I believe I got mine also from LEM. Yesterday a pack of collogen casing fell out of my outside frig. 5 years old and still looked good as new.
