using a roe leg as a chewy?

[VanGogh76]

Yep can't beat a good leg

Mine loves a leg every now and again. She also gets most of the offal.

And this one is taking hers home with her too she loves them and it keeps her teeth clean too, Win Win

Wow my post has developed legs. Post#24.

A lovely German lady takes ours and makes traditional Irish drums out of the hides.

My little dog eats the lot in a couple of hours then gifts it back in the corner of a room! Does drying them first help?

Very good for teeth as my vet says every 6 month check. A fresh one every other day. My little Hell Hound opens the fetlock and draws out the big sinew in first five minutes.

And apparently the hair is a good way to combat worms in dogs? I'm told it scrapes them out of the gut?

I don't know about that, but it certainly makes their crap easier to clean up.

Mine doesn't eat the hair, just the hooves sinew and cracks the bone for the marrow, then leaves it.

I asked vet that about hair and worms in gut and he just ****ed himself laughing

I say we should give them to the dogs, then find the other half has saved them in a cupboard for a special dog present as they slowly start to stink in my office.

Im hoping to pick up a few of these myself next weekend with a little luck!
Weve been buying them dried for the gsp until now. Does anyone have any tips on getting them to keep without putting them in the oven to dry and getting on the wrong side of the wife

Freeze them.

I use a dehydrator, day or so and they last weeks, ears, windpipe and lungs at the same time

 

[LateStarter]

Freezer is ofcourse the answer!
Weve been buying them dehydrated, will see what other bits can be kept too

 

[grauerjager]

Skin use, if you don't want to work them I cut them up and dehydrate them for the dogs as well. Lasts a little longer than others and they enjoy it. Don't need to flesh it just cut into the size you want and whack em in the dryer for a few hours!

Tan the hides and sell them.
I get £130 each for mine.

Do you use k-tan? Or is there something more cost effective?

The "old way" is to use the brain of the animal. I've done a couple and they come out great. Google will give you proper instructions but it's not too difficult.

I have considered this and have the brain in the freezer. But since the animal in question is hoggett, I believe its brain is technically “specified risk material” so am skeptical about putting it in my domestic blender
