Try Glow meat at Arndell Park 9672 1344

They only have pigs eyes though - but might be able to get fresh for you too.

We wrap ours in Glad wrap, each one that is, and freeze in a ice cream container, sorry a empty ice cream container. They seem fine. That way I can get one or six out a time.

Hi there Noona,

All offal needed for dissections can be sourced from:

Pear Meat Industry (02)9631 9866 2/41 Stoddarts Rd, corner of Prospect Rd, (Offal for dissections)

I got this supplier from from a uni labby.

Hope this can help you.

Does anyone know where you can get "eyes" for dissection in the New England (Uralla) area? I have a mobile butcher but he is down the coast for 3 months (lucky duck) - tried the local butcher but it is not something they do. Appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi Jillian

I get all my 'offal' from Dissection Connection now, just google them, they are in QLD, we pay for freight but we were paying heaps for eyes through the butcher about $4ea, worked out nearly the same. I ask the teachers to let me know what they need coming up and try to cut down on freight costs and stock up.

Cheers
Lisa :thumbup:

All our eye dissections have been done, the response to the cow eyes- great specimens, lenses were clear except for a spot in the middle of it was a little milky, this had no effect on the dissection :)
