Another couple of larder/butchery pics

Forgive the novice question, but what exactly have we got there? Is that a boned out loin/both backstraps wrapped in a layer of fat? How have you butchered to get that joint in other words! It looks fantastic however you got there I must say.
It's just the loin (short saddle) of a fairly fat deer, boned out, rolled and tied.
Also, I put the tenderloins in the space down the middle where the backbone was, to fill the void.

Keep the larder door shut, don’t want to be showing pics of tit wee birds pecking at the fat layer!

Ye’re learning 😉
 
Fallow calf got tangled up in a fence on monday at pheasants. Hung it for a few days, then skinned it to see what bruising there was. Hardly anything, so off the bone, through the mincer and thats the beaters lunch on Boxing Day sorted. Venison stroganoff from the loins tonight. Waste not, want not.
 
So are both sides of the loin rolled in there?
Yes, I just carefully took the backbone out and left both the loin strips in situ. Then put the tenderloin fillets into the space where the backbone had been and rolled it all up.
It's much easier to do on a deer that's carrying a bit of fat across the loin, as that helps hold it all together.
