Re: [rawfeeding] USDA number for Green Tripe?

Mimi,
We get tripe from uc Davis but they do wash it, but not bleach it, and we just got them to do that. They used to just throw the tripe away, and they probably wouldn't verify that over the phone, they're still gunshy with selling us stuff for the dogs. (I am a Licensed Notary for the state and I told the butcher there I would be happy to sign a statement that the tripe wouldn't be going to people, and I think that made him happier to do it for us, but I'm not sure, maybe it was that we were willing to pay for it too) The butcher at uc Davis said it isn't a matter of if he can do it, it's a matter of having the time to do it, it's time consuming to clean it out, it can be messy. I told him we just needed it rinsed, no big deal. Just to make sure there was no metal or buy products in it. He was fine with that.
Now on the group buys sometimes we get tripe from Simon at Creston Meats here in California, They might be ok with the phone call, they are really nice when we deal with them, send them an email, they are online at crestonmeats.com and ask Simon, he'll email you back or his assistant will. He's currently on the road alot, he delivers to us off of the freeways when he is in the area, so we like him alot:)
