Yes.
If you're just getting into raw, you can let red meat slide for a
while, but ultimately you simply have to figure out a way. Beef
heart may be your least expensive option. Pork also is a terrific
way to put red meat into the diet.

If you keep your eyes open for red meat deals--pork of course but
also beef chuck or ribs or even ground beef in bulk--it should not be
impossible to feed red meat.

I am not a big fan of chicken dominating the menu but let's face it,
one does what one must do. It's when people do not act on
opportunities when they can that I am concerned. When you have the
means to feed red meat, do it. When shopping creatively or outside
the Big Box store offers selection you would otherwise miss, do it.
