I live in Nepal and have no access to grass fed meat, at least not meat that I'm used to. Does anyone know anything about water buffalo meat? Would the bones be acceptable for broth making?

The water buff meat that I can buy in the store is not something I want to touch, but I think I can buy bones from a nearby village, outside of the city.

Thoughts?

Also, best recipes for homemade coconut oil and flour?

Thanks, Newbie Ari

Why not eat the meat? The bones from any ruminant will work for broth. However, the flavor of the broth will be the same as the meat, so if you don't want to eat the meat because of the flavor, you will likely not like the broth. – MathGirl72 Sep 4 at 13:14

Meat isn't largely grass-fed in Nepal? Really? I can't imagine it's anything close to CAFO beef in the states. – Matt Sep 4 at 13:21

VILLAGE raised animals are grass-fed, or naturally fed in some way or another. But animals raised for Kathmandu consumption are not. I don't know enough about conditions to comment with authority, but friends who've been here a long time said they wouldn't touch the buff meat. I've thought about paying to have my own animals raised, but it all is so complicated. Kind of in a quandary. Think I'll try buff bone broth. – AriB Sep 4 at 14:51

There's a water buffalo and bison farm 20 min from my house. Good eats. Go for it.

I don't know anything specific about water buffalo, but I do know it is a ruminant. If it has been fed it's proper diet (grass?), it should be a pretty awesome food source. I say figure out how they raise the animals, and go for it. If they feed the animals junk, get lean cuts. If the buffalo are fed grass, read bedtime stories, and tickled daily, well full steam ahead, eat up.
