When I was young my parents used to buy a side of beef and freeze it, I imagine you can still do this. A side of beef is what it says - the left or right side of the animal, cut up and ready for freezing. Used to be the cheapest way to buy meat. That was in the days of beef for every night time meal, and corned beef sandwiches for lunch, sausages for breakfast :-).

The bones used to be soaked for hours to get all the goodness out of them and make stock. I dont know if this is much different from the reclaimed meat - apart from the ammonia I suppose. Even now I make stock regularly and get all the yummy left over bits in the pot.
