Bulk order meat prep!
Pork liver and scrap meat
Turkey necks (an all time favorite at our house)
Beef hearts
Beef ribs; our recreation chew bone of choice, the girls love em!
We check back about once a day and package up any meat that’s already thawed and can be separated from the meat blocks. This can take up to 3 days for everything to completely thaw.
After everything has been thawed we’ll usually have a lot of “blood” left in the containers (mostly water). We will usually let the girls drink as much of it as they’d like. Good for the kidneys and liver. Get as much moisture in their diet as possible!
The meat ends up in 12 quart Sterlite containers we buy from WalMart, which hold 10-15 pounds of meat which lasts about 1-2 days at our house!

I just wanted to say that I love you! haha!
It got me all excited to see all that meat… We are crazy, us PMR feeders!
My my calculations – at 7.5 pounds a day – 500lbs would only last you a little over 2 months, is this correct? You do this every 2 months?
I admire so much of what you guys who really work at this PMR do! It’s AWESOME to see our dogs fed the right stuff and LOVE what they’re eating!
Where do you order all that meat from? We’d like to find a place to order meat like that for our dogs.
We buy from a company called Harvest Meats

I'm trying to get into a routine of knowing when I need to pull things out of the freezer to start defrosting and have them ready in time for when they need to be eaten. How long do you typically let meat sit in the fridge for, how long does it stay good and fresh for? We pull out 12 quart containers that weigh approximately 10-15 pounds (we feed one container a day because we have five big dogs LOL). If its at least 70 degrees out we let it sit out on top of the freezer for 24 hours. In that amount of time, it should be most of the way thawed, still partially frozen in the center. If its over 90 degrees we let it sit out and its most of the way thawed in 12 hours, still frozen in the middle. We never thaw meat out in the fridge, always out at room temp or higher. If you thaw in the fridge it will take MUCH longer. Several days for things to thaw out completely. As far as staying "good" enough for dogs to eat? I'd say a week. Honestly they can eat green smelly meat once their fully transitioned, seasoned raw eaters. So, it can last a long time in the fridge, but I prefer to feed fresh meats which is why we thaw outside everyday. I picked up my first order of raw on Friday, and the containers were frozen solid (which is a good thing since I know they were froze fresh). It seems to take awhile for them to thaw all the way. I know that even if they are not all the way thawed, the dogs will still eat them fine. It just makes it easier on me to portion it out when it is thawed. Anyways, I pulled a few containers from the freezer to the fridge so things would thaw, but now I'm wondering what the maximum amount of days is that I can keep meat in the fridge and have it be good still?

Do you pack multiple types of meat in a container since it is for more than 1 days feeding? Are the any meats you package separately?
Sometimes we will package multiple types of meat together. Typically we feed 1 type of meat a day and rotate to a new one every day or two.
