I FINALLY got my butt over to the Surrey Meat Packers and bought Bailey 60 pounds of beef for $40.00. It is ground up and includes muscle meat, fat, bones and organs - plus some other parts of the cow. It is cut into 1 1/4-2 pound portions, which makes it alot easier for me to bag them. He will be getting this for 20 days @ 3 pounds per day. We felt the extra pound of food he was getting probably didn't make much of a difference so we are cutting it down to 3 pounds.

He will still be getting REC bones for chewing and fish 1X per week. When this beef is done, I will be buying 44 pounds of chicken backs/necks for $29.00, plus another 50 pounds of either lamb, duck, buffalo or turkey (it is all ground and cut into portions as well) - they are insanely cheap there - and I just found out they sell rabbit for $5.99/pound.

He is going to be one happy boy!
