Question is it affordable to do this? Would a organic butcher sell these bones quite cheap? I do know cow shanks are actively looked for so what bones could I get some deals on.. Chicken and fish?
All depends on your butcher. In England my local butcher would just give away chicken wings, which have a ton of collagen for a really thick chicken stock; they would also give away bones for dogs and such, so you could almost certainly get bones for stock free or cheap depending. Remember, most people don't do this, so the big markets are restaurants, and there just aren't enough consumers to deal with the massive amount of bones generated by our meat-packing industry.
