cows because there are so many bones from processing their meat commercially. In old days it was cows, pigs, horses or whatever else they had around.

Here is the 'formula' for high quality English bone china: it's made from a combination of 25% china stone, 25% china clay and 50% calcined _cattle_ bones. Hope that helps!
