Important information
Sheep casings, Water, Salt
For best results soak over night in cooler in water that starts out at 90º F (32.2ºC). If in a hurry, follow these instructions but understand that you may not get maximum expansion capacity from the casing. Rushing the soaking process can result in the casing being sticky and they may not slide easily from the horn. This can result in breakage and sausage that is irregular in diameter or too small. Cover unused casings in brine solution or granulated salt and store in cooler at 40º (4.44ºC) or less but do not freeze. How tight you stuff sausage casings depends on the type of sausage and how it is to be linked. For natural casings: When making a rope sausage, without linking, stuff to slightly less than the maximum expansion of the casings. If linking by machine, stuff 3-4 mm below the maximum expansion of the casing. Consult the instructions for the linker or your linker supplier because there can be significant differences in equipment. If linking by hand stuff 4-5 mm below the maximum expansion of the casing. Hand linking can put uneven stress on the casing. By under stuffing, you can reduce breakage during linking. Check the firmness of the link and adjust the stuffing pressure. Cooking a sausage can toughen any casing. To maximize the tender bite of a casing, cook with moisture. Prick sausage before grilling. How do you twist the casings into links? Slowly pinch the casing where you want a link to start, and twist the link clockwise. For the next link, twist counterclockwise; then clockwise again, and so forth. Be very gentle, or you'll burst the casing! My casings smell bad; are they still good? Usually Yes. When your natural casings first arrive there may be some gas build up in the container, especially in hot weather. What can I do to knock out the bad smell in my casings? Usually all it needs is airing out. Leave the container open in the cooler for a while. Putting baking soda in your soak water may also help.

I will be buying these again in the future, though wish they were not quite so pricey!
They were clean and in good shape when they came out of the bag as a near-solid block of intestines and salt, and had no residual smell once soaked and rinsed. Length varies from 2-3 foot and they are narrow. I wish they had been more uniform in length so that I could plan a little better. I found myself picking through the soaking bunch looking for the length I wanted.
They stuff well and were stronger than I expected. There were some small pinholes I saw when putting them on the tube, but only two of them caused a blowout - and these were probably caused by me not helping them feed out. I used my smallest plastic tube from LEM and it took work to get these on.
HINTS FOR USE: My suggestion is to soak these longer than you normally would, get them a little warmer than you normally would, and blow them out with a water rinse until they stretch. Snip the end and use a blunt chopstick to open the end, then gently stretch by hand until you can get them started. After that (assuming you rinsed a little more to stretch them out), they go on fast and easy. Just watch when you stuff: make sure you help feed the casing with one hand while handling the sausage with the other. If not, the casing might get caught on the tube and you will blow out. Obviously, a foot peddle switch was the magic here.
A good quality product that I would get again if I were up for the trouble of threading small casings onto small stuffing tubes. They have a nice snap once cooked, and take on a nice color when finished hot. They held up when poached and then high-heat searing/frying.
I then found it hard to get the casing to advance as I stuffed it...tore several times. Perhaps a smaller horn would make these work perfectly. The one I have is just under 3/4 inch. If your's is bigger than a half inch, I think you'd do yourself a favor buying a 3/8 inch horn to use these casings.
I'm giving this a 3 star rating because the price was a lot better than any other options I could find for sheep casings. It didn't work very well, but that might be the result of needing a small feeder tube/horn. At this price, I made it work and will likely buy again since around $50 was the best price I could find elsewhere. I can buy a 3/8 inch horn and another package of these for less than it cost to buy another brand.
I little more fragile than porc casing but not bad overall.
Being lamb, it does smell when you open the package, so make sure to clean them extra
