Dexter,

My Beetle (85 lbs) and Doe (75 lbs) get about 2 pounds per day.  Backs, necks, and cadges alternated with beef sternum (brisket) bones.

Hornet (100 lbs) gets around 1 pound per day due to the fact that at 2 lbs he gets fat quick.  Think you just gotta play with it and realize their individual metabolism.  Hornet would be obese at the same feed rate that maintains his smaller sister.

I weighed a bunch at first but have gotten pretty good at just eye-balling amounts and that is what I do now. 

Hornet will be with me at EXPO so yall can see what feeding raw produces.  Hornet ate kibble for about a week when we moved, but other than that has been 100% RAW diet his whole life.  Chicken, beef, fish, and venison.
