Not that long ago we (the ex and me) bought a 1/2 a cow. It came
wrapped...fat, bones and meat. I gave the neighbour several knuckle bones
for their dogs. Those german shepherds loved the bones, but the uncooked
bones broke into small splinters getting caught in their teeth and gums.
We didn't know at that time that we shoulda pre-cooked the bones. This
softens the bones thus elliminating such a hazard.
