If I ohly have a couple of bones I use a crock pot on high for 2 - 3

hours and then turn it down to low for the rest of the night. Easier

for me than using the stove. I did't know about putting vinegar in

it - that's great.

Instead of using water for things like rice, etc I do use the broth.

The flavor is just turned up. Same thing with things like stews

also. But for chili I do use beer instead of water or broth!

My meat this year is from the 2 elks my husband and I harvested -

talk about the ultimate free roaming and organic!!!

Thanks, Kathy. No, I don't think its crazy. I want to do the right

thing for my family, but I just can't seem to get enough money

together to buy enough so that I don't have to buy regular. When I

was single and had a dog, he got the best of everything! No

commercial stuff for my doggie!

Yes, I will meet my next allopathic doctor in a hospital emergency room,

after an accident, which is what allopathic medicine is good for, in my

opinion.

Yes, I think the backs and necks would work great. I would remove the bones

from the broth. Crush them and give them to the dog, or put them in the

compost pile or the flower bed, but not the inside plants.

Cooking the starches in broth is a great way to sneak those nutrients into

somebody that refuses to drink broth J

I drink a cup of kvass a day. Sally Fallon says she drinks 4 oz in the

morning and 4 oz in the evening.

Let us know how it works!

I'm getting a delivery of grass fed meat on Friday, so I'll be making broth

all week. The broth takes up so much less room in the freezer than the bones

do J

Thank you Kathy. I have plenty of chicken bones. When we bought our

chickens, we cut up half of them into parts. I kept the necks and backs for

making broth. It sounds like these would be sufficient? If the bones

crumble, should I leave them in the broth or strain them out? I may just

have to try making some tomorrow. Well, I would never have considered using

the broth for cooking potatoes, rice and pasta but I can see the benefit

both health-wise and taste-wise. How much broth do you take daily?

I'll give the beet kvass a try when I can get over to the health food store

and get some raw organic beets. I love beets too. Okay, now I've got to go

get my copy of NT and read up on the beet kvass. I have plenty of whey as I

ferment my own kefir so whenever I need whey, I just leave a batch of kefir

out and let it separate. How much kvass do you take daily?

I avoid hospitals at all costs and most doctors, for that matter.

I’ve been warned to make sure the crock pot gets hot enough to simmer it,

meaning small bubbles. Most don’t.

Thanks for not judging and for understanding how important my

four-legged family members are to me.

I'd really like to encourage you to establish relationships with some of the

grass-fed farmers in your area. Let them know your situation. You might be

surprised how willing they are to give you a call when they are cleaning out

the freezer, or have surplus. We had a bad drought a few years ago and the

beef was really tough because of the bad range conditions. Farmers in the

area ended up grinding all but their best steaks into hamburger. I ate a lot

of ground beef during that time. It was good, it was cheap, and it was

available.

I'd second that! There are many reasons there can be

" extras " and it's good to be on the list of people to call.

I actually knew someone who gave away an entire

moose, because her family had gotten two and only wanted

to transport one. I also got something like 100 lbs of

prime elk meat because the person didn't feel like eating

elk.

You should also check the Little Nickle want ads.

Esp. for poultry ... people don't want to deal with

butchering or they have too much in their freezer

already, so they sell the whole animal, directly,

cheap. You can also get these animals at

auction, but it's better to deal at the farm (you

can see how they are raised). I got 4 geese for

$10 each once (we ended up raising them, because

they are really primo geese). Whole young beef

go for $200 or $300 on the hoof, and goats for

about $40. You don't necessarily have to transport

the beef: the butcher comes out to the farm.

Also I was talking to a hunter, and it seems

the buffalo farms will sell the " not trophy " animals

rather inexpensively. He paid $3,000 for the right

to hunt a trophy bull (the buffalo wander free: it

seems a little odd but well, hunters are hunters).

But he said the non-trophy animals go for $700,

and you don't have to hunt them, they corral

the animal for you and the butcher does the

butchering. But for $700 you'd get a nice big

bunch of grass-fed meat, plus hide, hooves,

etc.
