[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1318843, member: 22072"] We got into the sims back in the 80s when there was a push to grow leaner beef. I remember the first one we had processed.....was not good at all. So lean, tough, but hey, it was better for us so we were told...My FIL would buy a fat steer at a county show and fill his freezer, and he'd give us meat from that. So we went from fed out steer to grass fed sim. After the first one, the next we fed corn. Didnt help at all...meat still lean and tough. In the 90s we started adding angus bulls. Each calf we put in the freezer, got better as the years went on...Now, most of what we have is 75% or higher angus depending on the age. I can tell you by experience, adding angus to sim made them taste way better. Not sure about todays sims, which are NOTHING like the original ones. Never understood why more original sim people dont argue over which is better, like hereford peopld do.....old horned hereford or polled hereford and now black hereford. Yeah, the change is for the better, but what you have now is a angus and we already had them...lol [/QUOTE]
