One of the things that those of us that hate to waste anything is what to do with a shank.
When in camp and I butcher down to quarters I like to drop the shanks in a pot with some beef broth and water and a large cut up onion. They need to boil for several hours until the connective tissue melts away and the meat is falling off the bone. Then add some other veggies, carrots, squash, green beans, whatever turns your appetite on, and enjoy. I serve with a whole shank on a plate with a side off veggies out of the pot. It is surprising how delicious those shanks are when they are cooked down like this. So don't wrestle them trying to get the meat off when butchering, save them whole and boil them. Fantastic for hunting camp lunches.
