I picked up the meat from the processor yesterday. It looked great I went ahead and threw a couple of T-bones on the grill, cooked the med-rare with a tad bit of char. I think I have struck gold! That steak would have rivaled one of the elite steakhouse cuts :banana:
This steer came out of my Jersey nurse cow and my Gelbvieh bull. He weighed 1,144 lbs at hauling. He railed at 688 lbs. I grained him while he was still on grass with plain cracked corn. He got roughly 15 lbs of corn per day for 55 days while he was a on fescue / clover pasture with clover being mixed in heavily.
I have slaughtered several other breeds and crosses but this one is the best I have had. I only grain fed my last Gelb x Jersey for 30 days and the meat tasted good but the fat tasted gamey. Evidently that extra 25 days of grain made the difference.
