- This is the meat and bone grinder we use for processing small game for our dogs. We did 40 lbs of chicken meat in about an hour. This grinder has served us well and we give it a high rating... link below:

We went ahead and butchered a couple sheep recently, and this did a great job of making lamb burger!😃
I'm going to try this for my dogs food.
Awesome video and explanation! Thank you for posting!!
I just bought this after having so many problems with our dogs on kibble, and starting quail, this ought to be great for my dogs. and upcoming hunting season for rabbit, etc.
I think you will be happy with the grinder. We have done several pounds of chicken and rabbit for our dogs and they really crave the ground up raw stuff. This particular grinder will make short work of that quail :) One thing we noticed (if you plan on also grinding bone) is that you will want to partially freeze your meat before grinding as it just runs better through the grinder and doesn't get mushy when you run it through... Start with a larger disk for the first run as you grind meat and bone and then a smaller disk for the second run for best results. Good luck!
@@chadw2846 Thanks for the advice. Im gonna test it out with some fish and chicken tomorrow.
Thanks, great info
Wish i could find a place to get meat like that
We were lucky enough to have a place that sold chicken meat for cheap. I'm sure it won't last though :(
Awesome video I’m going to be ordering this thanks for the great review :) have you guys tried any other type of bones ?
@leo2o915 We have only used the grinder on chicken and rabbits. What surprised us was how it could grind mature chicken and rabbit leg bones...We have not tried running turkey bones through the machine and I know we have no plans to. If anyone does try turkey bones, I would strongly recommend ONLY young turkeys- probably right at 6 months depending on the breed as bone development hasn't fully matured. All the best~
I bought one after you recommended it a while back. Just waiting for the house construction to get done and then I’m going to start grinding. 🎉. Do you guys have a recipe for the dog food or? Thanks so much.
Glad you got one! We really don't have any recipes...mainly raw meat. Sometimes we will grind some greens in with the meat. If you come up with any, please let us know!
@@mountainviewhomestead4144will do. Thanks
would that work with fish , or would the bones be to flexible for it to grind?
Not sure, I think for the smaller flexible bones they might as there is pressure of meat and bone at the blade and cutting plate. They may bend and kick out through the holes in the plate but I would thing you would still get some breakage, especially the bigger bones of the spine. Definitely worth a try- let us know how it goes!
When you clean it do you use anything after or just dry it
The metal moving parts we wash with warm sudsy water (only the blade and cutter attachment we add a little olive oil to it after drying and store in a Ziploc baggie) and towel dry. The machine itself just needs a damp cloth and towel dry. (there is a good chance you will get the outside of the machine a little dirty). Very easy disassembly and cleanup
Whats cleanup like? Any problems with it since this post? The gears, I hear, are plastic. I hand grind 50 lbs of leg quarters 2 times a month now and it gets old. But I cant make myself feed them bagged crap. Its impossible to break the 75 year old sausage grinder I have. lol
Clean up is fairly simple and easy. There are a couple parts- the hopper/feeder, the corkscrew, the blade, and the blade cover. All of these come apart easy and are easy to clean. The blades will need a little oil on them before storage. The machine just needs wiped down. We continue to use it and haven't had any problems. One thing that I hear about is the noise that the machine makes. It does make noise- just listen to the video LOL, but just about ALL these grinders will make noise (unless you spend $900 + for an industrial grade grinder).
Have you tried to give your dogs (raw) chicken bones? We just started on a RMF (Rotational Mono Feeding) program and suggest the dogs can handle chicken bones if they are uncooked. I'm really hesitant about doing that and would rather grind them. Thanks
Yes, as we explain in the video, we run the meat and bones through the grinder two times. First time for coarse grind and then follow up with second 'fine' grind. Dogs have had no problems with bones. Yes, make sure they are raw.
@@mountainviewhomestead4144 Thank you for the reply and I did hear that you run the bones through the grinder. The RMF recommends giving the whole chicken leg bone to the dog and I'm afraid of sharp bone fragments. I was wondering if you had any experience giving your dogs the chicken bone whole (not ground). Your video was great!
@@colingryms3373 Personally, I think it is going to depend on the size of your dog. If you have large dogs I would say NOT to feed the leg bones raw to your dog unless supervised. Even though cooked leg bones are a no-no due to bone splinters, I think you can still run into a choking hazard with whole raw leg bones. This hazard is eliminated when you grind the bones plus you are giving them 100% of the bone marrow when they eat it. Just my 2 cents
It’s any bone other than chicken that they scoff at. Would like to see how it does on rabbit and how many bones that don’t make it through and stay in the grinder. Also where are you purchasing your rabbit, that’s all I feed my dog.
We've done several pounds of rabbit through this grinder with no problems....New Zealand, California, and Flemish giant all work well in the grinder. The only thing that 'may' give the grinder troubles would be mature turkey leg bones. We raise all our rabbits...better for the dogs than about any store bought dog food IMO
Where are you buying 40lbs of chicken for $20?
In Forest City, NC . They have since raised the price to $25.00 but still a great deal 😂
Do it grind chicken bones
Yes. It does a great job grinding chicken bones
