[QUOTE="f4leggin, post: 545501, member: 5863"] The steers I butchered last fall had a pretty strong flavor - I haven't raised beef before, so I didn't know if this was normal. Some people like it, some don't. The tenderness was great - just a strong flavor. The beef was hung for 14 days, I finished them with pellets and corn. The other day I had a buffalo burger for the first time - and that is exactly what my beef tastes like. I would like a less gamey tasting beef. Can some explain where that game flavor could be coming from? They were on alfalfa hay, and the pellets all winter - I added the corn in increasing amounts daily for the last two months. I wish I could tell you what the pellets were - some sort of grain that someone gave me to feed them. Any suggestions (including what to finish this years steer with) would be appreciated. The steer from last year is about 12 months and has been on hay (alfalfa and oat) all winter, our grass is just coming in. Thanks - Jill [/QUOTE]
