raw bones and teeth

Karen, I will let you know when we take our ram to the processor - the bones are nice and crunchable!  It looks like we'll be taking two or three sheep in a week or so.

Awesome!!! please do.  Hope you are all well (Lynn especially (JK)

I've seen many a rescue reduce the tartar on all their teeth within a few sessions with bones - even small ones.  I'm convinced it's less about contact with the bone and more about saliva, and working at cartilage and meat.  I've even seen good results with dogs after feeding something like steaks with only a small "eye" (such as we get off our rams).

This is really very intersting.  I've never even thought about that before.  But i suspect you are right.  

Psst.... Onyx and Crusher want some sheepies, got any contacts in the frozen north?  LOL

Sure.  Let's see what's inside the trenchcoat . . .  [lol]  I'll ask on the production sheep forum.  Would Thunder Bay be familiar to people in your region or do you need to give me another landmark to go by?

Well, the biggest sheep Land Mark I know of is Egli's Sheep Farm.  They actually have a huge statue of a sheep in the front.  LOL  Its just about 15 minutes out of town here.  But I don't know if they even sell the meat.  I've only heard of the wool products that come out of there.  I'm 4 hours from Thunder Bay, in Dryden now.
