I have a bull, a char x angus cross that just turned 4 years old. He's been on a good feed program all of his life. I would estimate his weight to be about 2000 lbs. The deal is this. We have decided it is time for us to give up the cattle business altogether. We sold off most of the herd a year or so ago. Kept the bull and a few cows for a "hobby", but now it's over. What I wonder is would this bull be good to eat? Never gave this any consideration since we always had a good steer preped and ready for slaughter when the freezers ran low. I know I'll take a beating on this animal at the sale barn, I would expect 50 cents a pound, tops. But then I would rather have money in the bank as opposed to a freezer full of meat that ain't fit to eat. Anybody ever butchered an animal comparable to mine? How did it turn out? Thanks -
