Hi! I have gotten the marrow bones in a regular grocery store. they aren't vey expensive and the ones Ihave gotten were usually about 4 in a package, give or take. I DO freeze them. I just don't COOK them. As for backes along with any raw boned meat, if I can't get a meat supplier fairly nearby, and yes I have traveled well over an hour to get it, I get chicken quarters. I adjust the feeding accordingly as there is more meat and fat with those. Again, those can be bought in the grocery store. At least in these parts!
