Combine all ingredients in a large slow cooker.  Cook on high until a boil and then reduce to low.  Simmer on low for 7-12 hours.  Strain liquid.  Discard stock/bones/etc.  Store liquid in jars and freeze.  Makes approximately 4-5 pint jars.

Jars can easily be thawed for soups or recipes that require bone broth or broth.

Recipe for beef is exactly the same except swapping out two beef bones with little meat on.
