Josie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Otis is raw fed (mostly poultry) and it's going good. FIL is a butcher and is offering us for xmas 1/4 beef that he will cutt himself... I was wondering what parts that normally butcher discard I could ask him to keep for Otis... thanks! Quote Our first greyhound, Tuffy: You will always be there with us my angel!

JAJ2010 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Everything that he tosses after the cow is gutted and skinned! If he's a soft chewer and isn't going to break his own teeth he could even chew on leg bones, etc. What an awesome set up for you Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHead Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I would probably take any part he has! I have friends who order half or quarter cows for their families and I take all of the extras that they don't want to eat. Last year I got tongue, tail, heart, liver, and kidney plus some freezer burned roasts. Also, any trim or bones are great if you can get them. I have even fed things like stomach, lung and spleen. My butcher here saves boxes of beef and lamb trim, heart, offal, etc. for raw feeders. It is fresh, local and great quality (no hormones or antibiotics), just not the type of parts most people want to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The only thing to be careful about would be the bones. He can chew on them, but beef bones are "recreational" bones, meaning he shouldn't try to actually eat them, they are too hard. Otherwise, anything and everything!

Guest KennelMom Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 When we get our cow every year from a local farmer, we tell the slaughterhouse that we want everything. We don't get the skin, brain, eyes and really weird parts but the all the weird scraps, organs and random bits and bobbles get put in bags labeled "dog scraps" or "dog bones" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 thanks! well Otis is not really a 'bone chewer" so wont give too much bones to entertain him... I bought him some beef ribs last summer and he chew about 10-15minutes and left them in the yard... Quote Our first greyhound, Tuffy: You will always be there with us my angel!
