Do you feed it raw? Cheap dog food source.
Yes i feed it raw. Today they got the guts and the spins and the head of the big boar. The backstraps, ribs, and quarters all go into a deep freezer in layers separated by plastic feed sacks to keep it from freezing together in one big giant chunck. I won't have to feed again till Wednesday Wednesday I'll open the freezer and pull out 2 quarters and take them out to the pens and cut them in halves with a splitting axe. Then pitch the halves over the fences and then repeat the process Friday. In the winter I will half the pigs and drag the halves in the pens and they have all they can eat for a week. I just put quarters and quarter size peices and small pigs in my deep freeze though. I've got to be able to break loose and lift out what I put in there. I can't just feed raw meat constantly. I have to give them guts so I kinda change up which pens get what. Guts is the key to making the raw diet a healthy balanced diet. My dogs love it but I think it's an acquired taste lol. They are born and raised on it and think it's awsome. Someone else's dogs would not touch half what my dogs think is the best stuff lol.
Oh and my chickens love it too. They love the coagulated blood, the fat, and picking at the meat. I cut the stomach out and carry it over to the chicken pens and slice the bottom of it open where the contents falls right out then take the stomach and pitching back in the dog pens. The chickens like to scratch around and eat the stuff too. Usually the dogs eat the small and large intestines and not so much the actual fresh eaten stuff in the stomach but will at times. Not much goes to waist. They even like to eat the hide a week or two later. When it comes time to mow the grass in the pens I Usually just use the mower as a chipper shredder to any bones left like the femers pelvis spine and skull. The ribs are totally consumed. They love the ribs. When the mower breaks up the bigger bones the dogs will naw on them some more. I used to go in with a wheel barrel and clean out the big bones but me and the dogs are pretty happy with the mower and how it breaks up the bones in little pieces.
