It will be used to mince meat for the dogs mainly ... I am also going to mince rabbits so that during the summer I can still feed the ferrets on rabbit through the day but I haven't got the hassle of a carcass going off with the the heat ... When they are minced I can trickle feed it through the day .... I have also got a sausage making attachment for it so I might have a little go at knocking out some sausages .......
