[QUOTE="EIEIO, post: 99595, member: 1947"] George, saw your fear of grass fed beef and just had to reply. I had the same fear for years then last year went to a neighbors for dinner and had some of the best beef I'd ever ate. I asked them how long they had grained if for cause it was so nice and tender. They then informed me I had just eaten my first grass only fed beef and they had just seasoned it with a bit of salt and pepper! I got brave and had a grass fed only steer done in February. It's great. I really think the slaughter process plays a huge role in any beef ya' get. I did cheat a bit and gave my steer less than a pound of cracked corn a day just to keep him comming up near the house so it would be easy for the custom slaughter guy to shoot him without having to chase him around a pasture. We had a guy come out and shoot the steer and then field dress it out here on the farm. No stress on the animal at all. He never knew what hit him (.223 in the head). Cut right away at the neck to bleed out and then lifted on a hoist on the guys truck and taken out to the woods for dressing. He then hauled it to the custom packing place. Picked it up nicley packed about 2 weeks later. The guy that came out to do ours only charged $40. If I was to figure gas and time hauling the steer in myself it would have cost at least that.
