Derek Nance, the man who eats raw sheep

"Raw is just so much easier for me to digest," he said as he opened a large refrigerator in the utility room. Inside, every single part of a sheep was hanging as if it was being stored in a butcher shop. He pulled a bone down from the top shelf.

"I'll just sit here and chew on one of those for a while whenever I need a snack," Nance said, before he showed us the hanging spleen, "It's a big bloody sponge.".

The liver and gallbladder were hanging behind the spleen.

Nance was able to crack open the bones and push out the bone marrow with a chopstick. He said it's like the "cheesecake" of the sheep.

"Yeah, this is real good," Nance said. What isn't good, he said, is the bladder. "I don't usually ever eat the bladder. It's saturated with urine."

Nance grew up with relatively common childhood ailments including asthma and ear infections, but he said when he turned 20, his sicknesses became more severe. He only weighed 150 pounds and was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome.

"I started studying other people who were into the raw aspect that the vitamins and nutrients are more intact raw, and it's better and easier for the body to digest."
