The 1st of our MG X fats that we sold came back with rave reviews. I would just like to thank the cattle today boards for introducing me to the MG breed. I believe it was one of our wisest choices, and those have been very few in the years since we started raising beef. ;-)
One couple, the wife is a chef, though she works in the confectionery industry, but is an unbelievable cook her comment: "Golden" - THE best!
One couple, the husband pulled out a package of steak - one for one night and one for the next night. His wife does not care for steak. He grilled his steak, his wife said it smelled wonderful and asked for a bite, he obliged and her comment was: Would you please make the other steak for me? If steak had always been this flavorful and tender, I would never have quit eating it. Husband has been getting a quarter from us every year for umpteen years, and said it was pure perfection.
When I called the locker plant to check on the hanging weight, the owner of the locker plant got on the phone and asked if the whole animal was already sold. I said yes, he said that was too bad, he would of loved to buy whatever wasn't sold. He said, it was probably one of the best finished, finest marbled animals he had come through there, and asked about the animal itself, and was extremely interested.
This was a heifer, her mom is the smallest animal in our herd, and I actually posted a pic of her at one time. She hung at 728 pounds, which I was impressed with as she was small height wise, but was a brick on sticks. I would of guessed much less actually. But I am a p.p. guesstimator. :lol:
I am not bragging, although I am very happy with the comments, because it is one thing to help feed someone, but another to feed them to the full extent of enjoyment. But mainly wanted to let people know how well the MG is doing for us, and I never would of gone down this path if it had not been for these boards.
BTW - We are purely free choice feeding. And free choice in full extent - pasture, hay, mineral, water, corn, room to roam.
Thanks everyone!
