Put the shoulders into a large casserole dish and pour the broth over venison. Bring it to the boil and transfer to the oven for 3-4 hours, or until the venison meat comes easily off the bone. Once the meat is cooked, drain the liquid, passing it through a mesh strainer and skimming off any fat. Retain the liquid.
