Costco sells 88% lean ground beef at $3.99 per pound. Mixed two parts elk or deer (which properly cleaned is 100% lean) to 1 part ground beef yields a mixture which is 94 % lean and frankly....tastes darn great. It also does tend to extend your yield a bit. To tell the truth, the other options (including suet) sound pretty nasty.
