Bone broth: Soup bones needed

Petsmart.

Where are you located ?

Call your local slaughterhouse... Kirk Martins (N. Laffy) or Hebert’s (Abbeville) can possibly help you out. I wouldn’t expect anything for free especially since there’s a market for bones

I used to get mine from Hi-Nabor on Jones Creek in Baton Rouge.

I'd also try the Asian markets on Florida Blvd. between Sherwood and Flannery. They use bones to make Pho.

I cut up bones from chickens, lamb, pork, and beef with a hedge clipper and freeze until I have enough to pack in the pressure cooker to make a couple gallons or so of bone broth. Then strain, cool, and freeze in Qt bags.

This would be a good place to start?

I remember at one time getting all the bones you wanted for free, but that was decades ago.

Also, most supermarkets no longer get sides of beef to part out like they did in the old days. The stuff comes already parted out from the big processing houses and they just cut some of it down to size for individual sales.

The last time I got beef bones for making a beef stock, it was $1 a lb. for them and the guy only had something like 5 lbs. of bones saved at the time.

Do you also eat beef? If so, just start buying half or quarters from a farmer.

This is what I do, and I get lots of bones
