So really if you still not to get a certain weight.. You have to buy more at a higher price.. I am actually boiling I never got a email mind I order over the phone had a dodgy pay pal incident.. I can get fairly cheap chicken mince from a local chicken factory but come is massive blocks ,its a pain and i like the red meats/Tripe that DAF supply.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can order direct from their online shop now, can either pay through card or paypal, although i don't think they have all the raw food on the site, i always used to pay on delivery found it much easier that way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Country Joe 1,411 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Its now very difficult to get decent raw meat, I used to be able years ago to go to a local Knackery, and Abattoir, but that has all stopped, my Mate who races Greyhounds bought raw dog mince from a Butcher, I phoned the butcher and asked what was in it, he said stuff from the Abattoir and my own. my mate bought some, and gave me a pound to try, the dog refused to eat it. Ive yet to see Dog Beef mince that just contains Beef, theres usually offal in there as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive yet to see Dog Beef mince that just contains Beef, theres usually offal in there as well. the problem you've got to compete with is the fact that beef has the highest feed conversion rate of all the proteins, its the most expensive protein to grow to slaughter weight, as a result the pressure's on the processors to turn every possible ounce of the carcass into human food grade products, that way they increase the yield of the carcass into the highest value possible home available, pet food is the last stop in the revenue chain, if too much of the carcass is heading there, you wont be in business very long.

Used to watch him put it through mincer.. Old boy retired and the new guys mince was shit.. Full of allsorts even pork I think, it was funny colour and would turn fast even in the fridge DAF stuff is right fresh never stinks Any other meat suppliers in Scotland / North England ??
