Since I live in farm country you would think it's easy to find a place to get good, inexpensive meat (besides Safeway sales) for making cat food, but no. All the fruit/lumber/meat is exported out My first choice was straight from the farm, but the places that offer that are insanely expensive. I'm trying to find a butcher but I don't know what to look for. I don't eat meat so I can't tell what stuff may be a little old but still perfectly good, what's too old, what to look for in a good butcher, etc. Also, is it safe to get the meat ground there? Will their grinder have too much bacteria on it?
