2525 Lean Meat sells for 6 copper coins compared to Tough Meat's 4, but both produce the same Grilled Meat. Use Tough Meat for cooking and sell Lean Meat if you need extra coins.The Hernand vendor stocks 10 Lean Meat daily, providing a steady supply for both cooking and pet feeding.All standard red meats (Tough, Lean, Fine, Tender, Marbled) are interchangeable for dog feeding, so use whichever you have most of.

2727 Pet Taming Use
2828  
2929 Lean Meat is the top preferred food for predator birds when loaded into the Sigil of Bond bird feeder. Eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons all land on the feeder when it is stocked with meat, and Lean Meat produces the strongest payout of any common option: each successful feed raises Companion Trust by roughly 35 points, which is the same top-tier trust return that cats and dogs receive from their preferred foods. Against the daily five-interaction interaction cap described on the Pet Taming Guide, a predator-bird tame can be closed inside a single in-game day when the feeder is stocked with Lean Meat and placed on cliff-top terrain along the target's flight path.

3131 Lean Meat is also a high-trust option for many dogs, so a single stockpile can cover an Eagle tame in the morning and a Husky or Jindo tame later that same day without swapping bait. When combined with the Companionship III Abyss core, every Lean Meat feed rounds up to roughly 38 trust, which is usually enough to finish any bird or dog tame with interactions to spare.

3333 Where to Get Lean Meat

3535 Town butchers carry Lean Meat on a rotating restock. The butcher in the Hernand area sells roughly 20 to 25 Lean Meat per restock cycle, and most major-town butchers carry similar stock counts. Buying out several butchers during a travel loop is the fastest way to fill the Sigil of Bond for a long feeding session.Skinning slain animals yields Lean Meat directly. Any deer, boar, or similar prey the player puts down in the field can be skinned for meat, which stacks with butcher stock and keeps the feeder running without running back to town.Mixed feeder stock works too. When camping a farming spot for a specific bird, the Kuku Insect Gatherer's Pack covers the bug side of the diet for any small birds that arrive, while Lean Meat covers the predator-bird side; keeping both in the feeder avoids wasted wait time when the wrong species lands first.

3737 Because Lean Meat is equally useful for both feathered and four-legged Companions, it is worth keeping a running reserve of 40 to 60 pieces in storage for any planned taming trip, especially when hunting species that share a farming area such as eagles and Crow spawns at a single cliff-top Sigil placement.
