Have been doing some shopping of late, and as you may have noticed the price of regular 80/20 ground beef is still quite high. The way I figure it, if I’m spending this much for my pack for beef it had better be of premium quality. So, I’ve lined up an order of something called Peeled Knuckle, which is leaner than most ground beef available at your local grocer. I am making this January’s special, you may want to pre-order some as it is certified hormone and antibiotic-free!!
Elsewhere in wholesale-land:
Chicken remains a consistently good value with whole wings being the exception. Guess it has to do with their popularity with the sports-viewing crowd…NBA basketball is back, college hoops are surging toward March Madness, the Bruins are playing extremely well, and the Patriots are in the postseason. Have adjusted pricing for these accordingly as they are costing me more, and would suggest anyone seeking whole wings to consider “B” wings, they are significantly less pound for pound as the bones are broken, which is fine- even a god thing- for those of us giving them to our companion animals. “V” wings (ie drumette removed) are an even better value.
Now that the holidays are over, Turkey and Duck prices have stabilized. I actually have some all-natural duck legs at Canine University which your dog would drool over 
and you’ll be pleased to know these are also hormone and antibiotic-free. These are retailing for much more at the natural grocer closest to us.
Lastly, Pork and (especially) Lamb pricing is on the high side. I had someone order lamb necks for the meat meet so I will have those next week. And I PROMISE to have center-cut beef marrow bones back in stock: you can pre-order these by weight, or if you want to add some when you come by I package these individually for Canine University’s students: $2 apiece, or three for $5.
