Big foot and a dead calf

[Mark Reynolds]

Yes. I'd say so. I know some folks might not like the graphic pics and I'd hesitate too but, we should all be able to handle things like this....this is a cattle site.

Shouldn't hesitate, but I understand why. It's all for education. Remember my 'fescue foot' picture?

She weighed 1540lbs at $1.05
Called her a 5 year old. She was a 2014 model

The other one weighed right at 600lbs hanging. Be ready for me Wednesday

Ribeyes are practically inedible.

Glad there ain't very many. Like rubber.

Being injured and all, I wondered how her eating would be. They tough?

I've got a 12 and a 14 year old I pick up tomorrow. They were butterball fat. You've officially got me worried.

I butchered a 5 year old that WAS bred for a fall (after NOT calving in spring). Lost it somewhere along the way, so she was a fat butterball. We wanted hamburg. Butcher called and said we didn't feed her enough - she was really, really FAT. Said the steaks looked amazing - that we should package up the steaks. OK
Ugggh - taste is horrible. Lots of YELLOW fat, strong taste because of grass and AGE.
Meat is tender, we just don't like the flavor. So, Phil cuts all the fat off BEFORE we cook it and that has helped. We are going to try marinating in Italian Dressing?? We have even resorted to GIVING them away - with the warning that they are strong tasting. Haven't gotten any report back yet. And, a big full grown cow has LOTS of steaks!!!!
Kabobs and cube steaks are good.

The ribeyes on my gal are just absolutely terrible. Like chewing on rubber or tougher than jerkey. The flavor is good. I'm gonna try and beat the holy heck out of em with a hammer and make a chicken fry or two. If that fails, I'll make dog food!!
I won't be doing that again. Burger only and filets.

She was NOT a fed cow. Been on grass all summer.

Just noticed the title of this thread again. I just finished a series of treadmill workouts that were "Tracking Bigfoot" themed.

Bigfoot bait? But I thought that was supposed to be hot dogs........or a reason for me to get back on the treadmill?
