Anyone know of a butcher who will grind the bone in with the meat in the Atlanta, GA area?

No, I don't know of a buther in your area. However, I do know that I thought I could grind my own bones with a Kitchen Aid meat grinder attachment. It's mostly plastic and won't grind the bones. It will do the meat just fine if you cut it up first.
There are other meat grinders that if they have all metal parts, they might work.
What does work (because I've tried it) is an all metal hand meat grinder, like one that attaches to a table and you hand crank. Yes, it might sound like a lot of work, but if you can't find a buther to do it, this in another option. It works just find and isn't that hard to crank for chicken bones. Because the bones are soft enough that the metal against mental parts crush it. It tried it with beef ribs and it was too hard to crank.

Hope this helps.

You're in luck... there is a FREE bone grinder located right in your dog's mouth! laugh out loud I guess I just don't get the whole desire to create extra work to grind bones? Unless you are attempting to grind "wreck" bones?

Cats jaws and teeth are made for eating bone. Uncooked bones are fine for them to eat as long as they are not weight bearing bones like cow leg bones. Those will break teeth.
