[QUOTE="dun, post: 1115270, member: 34"] What is the protein of the grain mix? Corn works for energy but not much else. If she's 15 she's probably a gummer or close to it so most anything other then some tiype of pellet isn't going to get chewed very well so here guts may not be able to extract as much nutrient from it as a cow that actually has teeth the grind with. You may be surprised at the flavor of the beef, it will have a much stronger flavor. Not because of stress but because of age. I happen to like that stronger beef flavor, wife not so much. When we had the butcher shop we alwasy added about 20% old bull meat to the burger to give it flavor. [/QUOTE]
