Which cuts of meat are better?
When buying beef or pork for the dog, is it better to get ground beef, ground pork, etc. or actual cuts of meat like a shank or butt-roast? Or does it not matter? I usually vary his meals meaning one will be a boney meal including turkey or chicken necks/backs and one meal mostly meat (just to balance out the meat and bone), so obviously my question pertains to the meaty meal.
Thanks for any advice.

I like whole meats. Big chunks, like 2lbs. Gives them something to work at.

I stilla m trying to work out what joints are what, however IGA in Ontario are selling pork shoulder for 0.97/lb so I guess I'll be stocking up on what little room there is in the freezer. Methral Meats (a local merchant) just revealed they are related to my neighbours so I'm off up there next week to see what he can do for me, I want to see what he usually gets rid of and see what I can get for next to nothing, I may even be able to sell some of the 'waste' for him and do it in a way it makes him suppy more and it costs very little. I kind of made a mistake on the cows as I asled for the bones and got the leg bones back, should have been more specific however they make great stock.
Back on topic, does anyone know a usefull link that gives the meat and where on the animal it comes from, I know one of the emu farms has one but what about pig, cow, beef and the like of 'normal' meats. |
