[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1578153, member: 14585"] 3 yr old = 3y 0m - 3y 11m = 36-47 months old + 4 months feeding = 40-51 months Your description fits for a cow over 36 months old. Over 30 months is considered old for a slaughter animal and it is my understanding that after 42 months of age it is next to impossible to determine age by judging the carcass other than saying over 36 months. Rule of thumb: Butchering same animal younger = more tender and butchering older = stronger beef flavor Next time ask your processor for a closer trim. Maybe he figured you could trim it yourself and throw the scraps to the dog. [/QUOTE]
