Welcoming Committee / Re: Hello to all

Hey there-I will try to address all:)
Well, I am hoping that if he(hubby) does not want to do it that at least he accepts the idea and can roll with it. I have already told him we are trying heart and liver and he said, "Good for you, not me." That's OK. He comes from a family that completely cooked everything. Nasty.
I am hoping that our health improves and that by leading by example he may try it someday. We'll see:)
Raw feeding dogs. Many people do it so differently. I use a lot of chicken backs and organ meat. Tripe sometimes. Reason for chicken mostly is because of the price and meat/bone/cartilage ratio. Also use raw bones. Dogs are basically wolves, so you have to remember that when feeding. Also sometimes supplement with greens or probiotics. My dogs are big and need exercise to reach their potential so they have a lot of outside time on our land running/playing/digging/being dogs. Destruction at it's finest in our world:) My breed of choice is borzoi(Russian Wolfhound) not to be confused with the Irish Wolfhound.
I have been "playing" with less and less cooked meat the past couple of years, actually eating hamburger raw occasionally (grass fed). Going to organ meat more of a challenge upstairs in the head than the actual act of eating it. Always been disgusted with cooked organ meat my whole life. Had to break it down into a mental game for me. Weird. Maybe. But we all got our gigs:) I am hoping that taste and texture wins out in the end:) Also, get better "vibes" from the raw food. Weird again but it is enough to influence the belly:) So, the leap to organs, challenging yes, but so worth it. I have been online looking for local sources of organ meats, last night found a goat person that had "sweetbreads" . So, I have already emailed them on the availability of that and other organ meats they have...
So here's a question. Why is it so hard to come by the organ meats? Does it have to do with the downward trend of eating them? Or the actual butchering process? It must have to link to money somehow:)
Look forward to hearing from people! Thanks for the warm welcome:)
