[QUOTE="JerseyLuver, post: 793993, member: 15039"] Hi Everyone, sorry if this question has been asked before. I tried a search and couldn't find anything. I had someone give me a big cow that had a huge brisket. She was huge and breathing hard. I don't think she would have lasted very long in the summer months. I was scared to eat it and my neighbor asked me for it, they have a lot of kids and don't have much money so I gave it to them. I told them what was wrong with it and they said they didn't care. I did call a butcher for them to see if the butcher would do it for them and the butcher said they would but the organs would not be edible. My friends didn't want to spend the money so they just took her and did it themselves. They cut it up in quarters and said it tasted fine. Since then I have heard from some of my friends that you should not eat a cow with brisket disease. I haven't been able to find anything about eating one on-line yet. Last week I was given another really nice cow with brisket. She's not that bad at all and is breathing and getting around fine. Might be the colder weather but she looks like she would be OK for awhile but you can see the swelling in her chest. I have another friend who could use some meat. But I was thinking about taking it in and having it done right and splitting the beef. I just want to be sure that I won't get sick or get anyone else sick. I am giving the meat away but with liability laws the way they are I would like some opinions about it. Plus I don't want to waste my money if the meat would be no good. Thanks ahead of time.............. [/QUOTE]
