I looked and looked online today because I had the same question about a Beef Summer Sausage I received yesterday. To my surprise, I found NOTHING about the type of casing Hillshire used online. So I pulled up Hillshire Farms customer service number and found out that Hillshire Farms Beef Summer Sausage is packaged in beef casing. She went to say that any of their other sausages that list beef as the only meat ingredient are made with beef casing, as they would have to specify on the packaging if it were different. This ONLY goes for the Beef products. So, I would guess it's pork for any of the mixed meat sausages.
Hillshire Farms beef sausage does not come in pork casing. They are required to list pork casing on the ingredient list of all products that use it.
While less tender than sheep casings, hog casings are usually consumed with the sausage. The esophagus, small and large intestine, bung and bladder from cattle are used as beef casings. Ring bologna, blood sausage, polish sausage and dry sausages are examples of products that may be stuffed into beef casings
You can find many sausage recipes through a sausage make such as Hillshire Farms. They make a wide variety of sausages from all sorts of different meats (beef, pork, turkey, chicken). They have recipes on their website that could be beneficial to you.
Yes you can freeze ring bologna. I usually buy Hillshire Farms smoked beef ring bologna and toss it in the freezer. Unthaw on counter and prepare as usual.
Natural casings can be pork or lamb. There are also collagen, cellulose (fibrous), and plastic casings. The type of casing used depends on the type of product being made and the size of the stuffed product. I use collagen casings for bratwurst and breakfast sausages that are about an inch in diameter. Natural casings are thinner and break easier, so they are used for smaller sausages. Plastic casings are used for large diameter sausages like balogna. Natural and collagen casings are edible, but cellulose and plastic casings are not, but the latter are strong enough to support large sausages. Sometimes bladders and stomachs are used for specialty meats - you probably wouldn't see them in your grocery store.
No. That's why it is called "all beef" sausage.

beef sausage
It's a Garlic beef sausage from GermanyKnoblauch (garlic)Wurst (sausage)
It can be, and in fact, most sausage is made from pork or pork products, but it can also be made of chicken, turkey or even soy products. Read the label to see what is contained in the one you are purchasing.
from farms
Organic farms, commercial farms, "factory" farms, grain farms, ranches, chicken farms, pig farms, dairy farms, beef farms, bison ranches, etc.
This all depends on what country, state or province you're referring to. Some areas have more dairy farms than beef farms, other places it's the other way around. In terms of popularity in North America though, beef cattle farms are more popular than dairy.
