<p>I've read that when bones have given up all their nutrients they go soft. I tried simmering some cow bones, with vinegar, for over two weeks (perpetual broth style), but they're still not soft. Should I just keep simmering them forever?</p>

<p>I'm surprised that they're still hard after 2 weeks! Are you removing the broth and adding new water? If not, you may just be reaching a chemical equilibrium with the nutrients in the broth and the bone (I don't know that this has ever been studied!) </p> <p>If you've been replacing the water then I'm really surprised! Those are some crazy bones you have! lol! </p> <p>Here's a link about making bone broth for 12 days (not a paleo site): <a href="http://www.traditional-foods.com/bone-broth/" rel="nofollow">http://www.traditional-foods.com/bone-broth/</a></p>
