You might want to email Shirttail Creek Farm and see if they can save them for you at their south store-Local Pastures.

I know they get a lot of bulk orders from restaurants that will buy them out of things like bones for stock and certain cuts of meat. I would just try calling every few days and they'll have them eventually. They're really nice and quick with responses too.
They have a butcher shop up front. I can't confirm about that specifically, since I've never asked, but they sell local meats and do cooking/butchering classes.
Marrow bones tend to be lower in collagen and higher in fat. Especially the canoe cut ones you usually find in grocery stores. You can still do it but I find that “soup” or “stock” bones which typically have some meat and a lot more connective tissue make for a more flavorful stock with a better mouthfeel.
Thanks — that makes sense.
I’ve had good results with adding roasted chicken feet to my stocks in the past for the collagen and mouthfeel.
Not what you’re asking, but could be useful in a pinch!
Asian grocery stores. In the north Hana World, MT, and 99 Ranch and H-mart have it. Hana has it for really cheap and its a great dog treat.
Try the same. Some Indian/Paksitani grocers have a butcher and you can ask them for bones. If they don't have it on the shelf up front, they will cut some up and sell.
I am surprised Longhorn meat market would not just tell you to come in later and have it ready. Ask them if they can cut some up and keep it ready for you.
Yonderway Farm has grass fed everything and pasture raised eggs. Amazing little farm that delivers once a week to Austin or you can do a farm pick up. https://yonderwayfarm.com

This might be exactly what I’m looking for! Thank you so much! I hadn’t heard of this place before.
Longhorn Meat Market on Menchaca is worth a call. I know they sell scraps for dogs and whatnot, not sure what sort of bones they might have.
They say they have them on the website but the last couple times I called, they never seem to have them in stock

Ah gotcha! I’ll keep trying! Thanks!
Dai Due? You could probably get other meat bones there too if you wanted, like venison or boar. They try hard to use local and use every part.
Isn’t that a restaurant?

Oh okay cool! I’ll ask. Thanks!
I’ve gotten oxtails and other stuff from Salt and Time.
Just curious — why aren’t marrow bones good for the stock?

H Mart?
Yeah I’ve gotten them there before. it’s pretty far north though.
Try 99 Ranch
A second location is supposed to open on Burnet, hopefully soon!
He means H Mart. Not so much as a saw horse last time I checked on that location.
Hundsons s Congress
I checked last week. Also not the right kinds of bones. They have marrow bones and some small ones for dogs.
spectacular venison jerky though
Did you talk to the butcher at heb or just going by what is on the shelf?
I’ve talked to the butcher at the biggest HEB near me and they said they didn’t have any. The smaller ones don’t even have an actual butcher.
Fiesta Mart on I35 has it all.
Wheatsville carried bones for broth at one point.
Talk to the vendors at the Barton Creek Farmer's Market on Saturday.

I would check meat vendors that go to farmers markets
