Sick and need bone broth advice ... Summer?

[Guest guest]

I finally found a source of grass-fed beef bones and buffalo bones.

But they are HUGE! The buffalo femur arrived in a 4 foot box, I can't

fit it into my fridge and I have it packed in ice in the box til I can

cut it up to fit in the cookpot. How in the world do I cut these

things up in order to cook them?

Today I am boiling the beef bones - a large joint and some pieces of

legbones. They are about 2-3 inches in diameter, but at least they fit

in my big soup pot. They should have some nice marrow. But once they

are cooked, how do I crack them?

IO haven't posted recently as Tom and I have been sick with a bad

virus for nearly a month. Fortunately we had some frozen lamb bone

broth that he could eat 3 days out of each week, and some frozen

breastmilk. He didn't lose too much weight but I think his immune

system is in the process of crashing - he's getting sick a lot and he

didn't used to do this, and his food allergies have gotten more

severe. He's getting random hives daily and is showing signs of

chemical sensitivity. Small things push him over the edge, healthwise.

I think bone broth is one of the things that I hope will help.

If Summer's not around, I welcome advice from anyone.
