I don't make it. The bones are pricey. Last time I checked marrow bones were on for $2.49lb. CD. That was a couple of years ago.
Back when I was a young lad, if you purchased something from a local butcher, if you asked, you would get beef bones(maybe there was pork and veal in the package?), free of charge.

Not precisely stock. More like a rich broth. I use leftover prime rib
bones and two or three slices of beef shank.

I only make enough for a batch of onion soup.

I fondly recall one time we bought our Christmas roast and the butcher
gave us a bunch of veal neck bones for free. That must have been
in the early 2000s.

Using good marrow bones for stock is very wasteful. Marrow bones are
not for stock, they are for roasting and eating the marrow spread on
toast.
For stock ask the butcher for meaty rib and neck bones.

Nor do I, It's not exactly my favourite flavour for stock.

Agreed. Good marrow is worth eating on it's own.
