[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1251059, member: 12607"] RBB, I have... granted, it was from a mature LH bull that came visiting, wouldn't leave, and the owner wouldn't make any effort to retrieve(over a 2-yr period). When my dad & uncle finally hung it up and sold out, they couldn't get that crazy thing in, so they shot him in the pasture and had him ground up into hamburger. Nastiest ground beef I ever had in my life. Think they finally ended up throwing most of it out. New neighbors two places south of me sound not unlike the OP...really nice folks, active military, only they had NO experience with cattle; they'd heard they were gentle and birthed easily... Somebody down around Nashville saw some tenderfoots coming and sold 'em some LHs. They've got not much in the way of fence, and no working facilities... don't know how they'll manage to do anything with them. Little steer left home Day 1 and came visiting right away, and spent nearly 2 months here before we could get him tranqued and hauled back home. Big head, noassatall, and little in the way of muscling. Probably weighed 350, and I'd hazard a guess he's at least a yearling. I'm sure at some point, he'll be eaten...but I'm not betting on it being a unforgettably pleasurable gustatory experience. [/QUOTE]
