Hmm. Oxtails round here are easily sourced but, by local standards, expensive. ¥228 CNY / $32 USD per kilo. That is for skin off tail.
I coud save money by buying them unskinned (¥114 / $16 per kilo) but skinning them is hard work and, of course, and a significant part of the weight.
Either way, they are not particularly fatty. Maybe we just have skinnier cattle around here. I would actually prefer them a little fattier so I could collect the fat for other uses, à la @Tropicalsenior.
