Bull meat?

[BAGTIC]

How many people here have eaten bull meat?

Years ago I rented from a Mexican family that regularly grilled bull meat and invited me to their parties. I found it quite tasty and as prepared not at all tough.

I also recall reading of a market survey done by USDA that found that the majority of people sampled found it better flavored than beef.

A bull what? Beef males that are still intact are bulls... and theyre still beef.

Bull beef taste as good as and is as tender as any other beef if raised and slaughtered right.

I've always been told if you finish them out prior to 15 months of age, there should be no difference between intact bulls & steers. May depend on how early maturing they are.

Them bulls running through the salebarn headed for slaughter,
are going to hit the grocery store just like any thing else that is hauled in.

We have a friend who slaughters bullls in tact and you can't tell the difference. He'll come over and help my husband band ours but he doesn't band his.

I have also eaten the parts that makes them a bull insted of a steer. Battered and fried there pretty good.

We do it too. You CAN tell a difference. It tastes BETTER. IMO.

The bull meat I ate was definitely different than 'beef'. It was darker colored with a purplish hue and a glossy sheen.

You want to get "technical"?

Beef = meat from a bovine.

Cow = female bovine

Calf = baby bovine

Bull = male bovine

:lol:

Had steak from Sam-the-Bull last night...better than some steers.
Just don't expect great beef from an old animal....

We slaughtered a bull for the freezer last fall. He was a show bull that had a bad attitude, so he'd been on show feed from weaning til about 16 or 18 months old. The meat is awesome. THe ground beef is very lean and the steaks are very tender and flavorful.

When the hide, hoofs, horns, and jewells come off they all look the same. Some taste better than others and some are tender others are tough. But in the end its Beef - thats whats for dinner!

You forgot 'steer'.

 

[greenwillowherefords]

I agree with most of these answers. Butchered young and fed right, there is little difference.

Sounds to me like you might've gotten hold of some of that famed Mexican sewer rat !!!
Like in the urban legend - the people bring home a dog from Mexico - have it for months - take it to the vet and find out it's actually some species of rat found in Mexico !!!!!!!!
