I feed raw, my protein base source I use is chicken with the bones, but there have been certain times, when I use hamburger beef. When i do use I use the 73/27 also I would use Jack/Mackrel, some spinach,flax seed oil/or wheat germ oil etc... The groud beef meat come and go depending on the weight as that is primarily a source of fat. They all have differing benefits and absorption rates. The goal is to try and have the body absorbing some of the protein at a slower rate so intake is ongoing throughout the time after the dog is fed.
I don't weigh any of my food. I never have. I just give it the eyeball test. I've used it often enough that I have a good idea on what adds weight, etc etc.. with time, and repition, Im sure you will get to that also.
I did prepackage in freezer bags, 1 months worth. I go through 90 lbs of chicken /bones and organs, @ the cost of 13.50-14.50/month.. Its a whole lot cheaper, and alot less poop, the poop crumbles nicely and returns bacl to the soil.
