[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1824003, member: 12607"] Jeanne, I think, to some degree, that's an 'old spouse's tale'... while 'boar taint' is a real thing with intact boars (I can smell it in some tubes of purchased 'whole hog' sausage), 'breeding' has nothing to do with flavor of beef from a bull - though beef from intact bulls will, generally, have a darker color and more intense 'livery' flavor than that of heifers or steers. Dad had a Longhorn bull and a few cows show up from a farm a few miles away. Tried to get they guy to come get them for 2 or 3 years. When Dad & uncle decided to sell out, they reached out one more time, with no response. Bull wouldn't come into corral, so they shot him, dressed him out in the field, and had him ground into burger. It was too nasty for anyone to eat. Depending upon where the 'break' is, a bull with broken leg - if you couldn't get him to slaughter PDQ, could conceivably heal fracture and be ambulatory to walk into the abbatoir 3 or 4 months later. A femoral fracture will have best potential outcome. [/QUOTE]
