For beef stock, Escoffier wants bones of old cattle -- so, could use retired bulls and/or dairy cattle.
Apparently retired cattle are a source of beef for the fast food hamburger restaurants.
Instead of vegetable stock I just make vegetable soup. I use a 16 quart stock pot and add onions and red potatoes (both browned in olive oil), canned peas, carrots, corn, beans, 10 pounds of frozen mixed vegetables, garlic, thyme, basil, oregano, canned crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper.
Sooo, that mixture makes its own vegetable stock!
I bring the pot to a simmer to sterilize.
I make a flavor mixture: 1 cup of each of soy sauce, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce.
Just before serving, I add some water (don't have much in the 16 quart pot) and some of flavor mixture. It tastes good!
> For beef stock, Escoffier wants bones of old cattle
He worked most of his career in London hotels and restaurants. He complained that you can't get proper old cattle in Britain; he said we slaughtered them too young, no older than two years. For stock, he wanted animals aged 4 years, or even older.
