Millet 4,497 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Seem's as my freezer's where at bursting point i decided to defrost the lot and bang it all through the mincer..all dogged and shot free.. I also had a pile of Makerel which worked out at 1 fish per 4 Rabbit's..Broccili / Garden Pea's / New Green Bean's and a dish full of soaked complete..here is a few picture's of my progress through out the day.. 2 day's defrosting 90ltr bin full of skinned legged and head's off.. My helper waiting for the chop.. The ingrediant's All done Owld Rip pushing his luck.. The end result approx 230lb of mince ready for the freezer all courtesy of the dog's which it will feed for a good while in the next several monthes.. 18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dog scran looks good stuff I was selling them for £3 each to a couple of lad's with Python's so i was asked to get a load with the gut's still in them..which i did around 40 of them roughly but they never got back to me so i was stuck with them..not too worry though they are gutted and minced now and the dog's will be none the wiser..

sandymere 8,263 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I tend to do it as it comes in, last big lot i did was a fecker, jammed in into the chest freezer so it was frozen together, right bugger getting it out/splitting it. I cursed myself for weeks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
