What Raw Meats ???

[heritage 202]

I get them from the local butcher....there available loose at 25p per lb but to get an even greater saving I buy them by the box....they take up very little room in the freezer and come in handy for the dogs as i find they contain equal amounts of bone / flesh / fat ect.....

All my animals have them and they form part of there regular diet.

Just go out to the freezer, break off a suitable sized amount and leave out to defrost.....

The last time I bought a box I think they cost me £15.....I'm not sure on the quantity of necks per box but just to give you an idea I had my "block" broke down .., it filled 5 carrier bags,..

they work out much cheaper than wings by the sound of it. Ill have to try to track some down cheers heritage.

Well I had a chat with the butch at the end of my road and he said that all the birds ( chickens eg: )

Come to him pre prepared ?? But il ask him about the necks?

My local butcher is next to useless for this sort of thing so Im looking online. Found some on nurturingbynature.co.uk theyre £10 for a 10 kilo box which is a lot less than I pay for chicken wings even once you've added a delivery charge.

He aint no butcher if he buys stuff prepped

I payed £15 for an 18kg box....., the price could have come down further still but I didn't want to buy too many in one go...

The price for a 9kilo box of carcasses is roughly £5.50 , let them defrost so there workable and put enough in a poly bag for a days grub for the ferrets you get a good discount the more you buy

Chicken necks sound a good idea. I will ask lowly about them. If not then them online prices quoted above look a good price.

A lot of high street butchers do this now.

No different than going to the supermarket really. But if you do find a "real" butcher locally then they are worth there weight in gold. They are about, but there numbers are going down.

I think it's all because of cost. It's cheaper for them to but the stuff in , less waste for then too.

nurturingbynature.co.uk/ this site is really good, the chicken carcass seen good £10 for 40 and a tray of chicken livers and hearts for £1 . I think that's good? got mine on the way..
