We get our pork fat from B&E meats.  They were out one year and we used beef fat instead. Not sure if we could tell the difference.  We mix it 10% fat to meat for burger.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I buy pork fat from the local grocery store that has a meat dept. That processors have boxed beef to resell.  Minimum order is 50 pounds and it costs 1.00 a pound. The slaughter houses box beef and pork fat to resell.  Old cows and old sows are very lean sometimes and adding fat makes it tastier plus helps it hang together when cooked. Never go over 15%.

Any more and I only use bacon for grinding burger. I go very lean, 2-3 lbs of bacon for a deer. Just enough to keep the patties from crumbling. And I probably grind at least half the deer. Keep a few roasts, cut steaks from the backstrap and hams and everything else is ground. I give it one course grind while adding the bacon in, then mix it and regrind on fine.
