@sharronhurlbut:
I go a different direction.
I go to the meat section and ask them to cut a beef leg into 1 1/2 inch sections.
I take it home, freeze it and give the dogs one each a day, frozen.
It takes them at least an hour to get the marrow out, its doesn't stink at all and it cost about $4.00 for 4-6 sections.
This is the marrow bone, and this is what I do in my house.
I do the same thing…I buy a week's supply, dig out most of the marrow and freeze them. I give Ruby & Brando one every morning in their crate when I leave for work. Ruby doesn't even watch me head for the door and she immediately digs in :D...and that is HUGE because she is somewhat crate phobic. Brando loves the bones as well, but he still cries a bit when I leave...but that is getting better and usually stops by the time I get to the bottom of the stairs.
I only give bullysticks when I'm around because Brando would finish it off during the course of the day and I like to throw them out when there is only about 2-3inches left as I'm afraid he could choke on it.
