Add all ingredients to a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Stir. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cook uncovered 3-1/2 - 4-1/2 hours until meat is falling apart and liquid is reduced by half.
Scoop out large pieces and discard. Strain stock into another large pot, discard solids.
Allow to cool slightly, then chill. Fat will rise to the top in a solid layer and be easier to remove. Skim off the fat and transfer stock into airtight containers. Refrigerate until use.
FOR FREEZING:
Cool completely. Ladle into airtight freezer safe plastic containers. Leave 1-inch at top open for expansion. Freeze for up to 6 months.
