Need shank for oso buco though, no?
If I had an abundance of beef bones for stock, I would consider the fuck out of either doing a run of french onion soup or going all in and making demi glace (freeze it in ice cube trays and use for making a million other things more tasty for the next few weeks).
The core problem with beef bones is that doing anything good with them is labour intensive. It's not as easy and versatile as chicken stock is.

Yah, that’s for shank not soup bones.
More meat than bone and thus more expensive. (Well, veal is. Pork is pretty reasonable.)

Yeah, shank is a whole 'nother topic, but I ticked it 'cuz like and good memories. 
Some folks in my family likely knew what demi glace is because everybody read like crazy, but good ole rustic soups were the cat's jammies. Boil/simmer times for the bones were kinda long, but afterwards they were ground up and fed to the chickens, so frugality observed. Used cheese cloth to strain stuff. These days I use a fine mesh metal skimmer because, and my boil/simmer times are way shorter - also because, plus I ain't got chooks to feed. Soups still get snapped up when shared, maybe 'cuz attention paid to seasoning and when to add what/when depending on soup type, e.g., don't boil the shit outta the veggies like Mom used to do. Still can't beat Dad's soups, but enjoy trying. He used peppers and vinegar along with the salt and pepper to season his liquids, herbs sort of an afterthought. Agree about chicken stock being more versatile, plus Jesus Christ more easy to live with making-wise!!

So anybody got a favorite recipe using black cumin, aka, nigella? Sounds intriguing (plus Oaktown Spice Shop has it for not a lot of money). Also seems kinda specialized in its usage. Here are some takeaways from the article:
