[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 781171, member: 14334"] The person I spoke to this week is one of my neighbours and doesn't use any of those arguments. She just likes the taste better. She is older than me and has been around cattle all her life so she has eaten more of her own beasts than we have. We have only killed grass fed beasts (2) and I can still remember that first T-bone from the last heifer we sent away. Mmmmmmm I don't know how it is possible to get a better T-bone than that it was B E A U T I F U L. I have heard that heifers are more tender than steers. The first one was a Santa Gertrudas/Jersey cross (Sansy) We will see in the future when we change from Droughtmaster to Bazadais, as 'they' promote Bazadais can finish with grass and supposed to be so good that once you have eaten it you won't go back to eating another breed, but that won't be for quite a while yet. We have 2 droughtmaster heifers that need to be culled as their mother was bottle teated so they are the next 2 picked to be eaten and there is only 2 of us. We don't grain feed. We grass feed and make our own hay. We do not use poisons over our crops, but we do fertilise. We don't give antibiotics willy nilly, but if I had a sick calf I would not think twice about giving it antibiotics. We do worm and vaccinate and have used the insecticidal tags in their ears to keep the buffalo fly off them in summer. Once the grass starts to grow again soon I will probably stop feeding them out hay. They won't even come up and ask for it. [/QUOTE]
