Hello All...Newbie here to this Site, but anything but a Newbie to livestock & farming. I come from very Rural Cinci, Ohio...my dads family owned the largest Meat Packing Plant in the State, at the turn of the 19th Century & my moms Dad owned a Dairy Farm in Carrolton, Kentucky. Yes...at one time (had circumstances gone right) I would now be a very rich man...but seeing that both families were Greedy-Egocentric-Money Grubbing SOB's...all that money was Spent and/or Lost before Elvis popped out of his momma's Boo-Boo!
Okay...enough of that crap!
I fully agree with the Brahman analogy, even as a child I had a fascination with them & it was a Brahman that taught me how fast I could REALLY RUN! <snicker> I started cooking for my Family at age 8 and the only thing that had eluded me, was the Tastes/Flavors of Fresh Meats, Eggs, Cheeses and even Deli Foods! Have felt like I've been eating Paste & thought it was something wrong with me...then one day my dad split a whole Brahman - Processed, with a buddy from work. I could smell what I'd been looking for, actually stole a package of Cube Steak that night, and felt I was eating Steak Tar-Tar made with a Kobe Fillet Mignon...I ate it RAW! Since then I've sought the morsels of true greatness...it was as easy as returning to the Farm! Food today is disgraceful...that's a big reason I am moving back to to Mobile, Alabama...at least I can catch or buy from the Boats, the consistently fantastic Seafood the Gulf of Mexico provides! I'll Shut-Up Now!
