Great looking bull - but Oh My - look at the GRASS.
Holstein cross?Was only luck that we got our hands on 2 of these.

This cattle business is pretty simple, grass in front of the cow, bull behind.Adjusting well after a 13 hour trip and couple night lay over in another state. I have been suspecting 2 cows aren't bred and this was one of them.

When you cross them with our cattle you get cuts like this and the flavor is spectacular. This bull lives on hay and pasture he gets nothing special, BUT, put him in front of a feed bucket and they balloon out. They aren't regular pasture stock, you have to feed them to make them fill out. Mix him with a beef breed, the outcome is worth the price. Thats coming from someone who has only eaten grass fed. Grass fed fad, that's the scam…And you call that LUCKY??
Edit: My bad, couldn't help myself. Why chase marbling and sacrifice muscling? This animal has NO MUSCLE.

Way too much white meat for my likings. It's the latest fad. Go for it. You lose a lot of red meat in your carcasses.When you cross them with our cattle you get cuts like this and the flavor is spectacular.

I dehorned a three year old Wagyu for a neighbor yesterday. My offer to band him at the same time was declined.Was only luck that we got our hands on 2 of these.

We had these guys dehorned and it took half their head.lolI dehorned a three year old Wagyu for a neighbor yesterday. My offer to band him at the same time was declined.
As Jeanne said, I prefer a bit of marbling but not what these produce. I am thinking they are the latest fad that will soon be overproduced and the premiums will disappear.
They are really ugly standing next to a standard bull. lol. I was skeptical that the flavor would be enough different to matter. But it does. It's why you see people pay more for it. I got a ton of burger and tried some thinking they'd shrink down to nothing. The fat is different. Not only did i have hardly any fat melt out, the patties did not shrink. I made some meatballs, and holy smokes they were good. The steaks we ate were fork tender. You can literally cut it with a fork. It would be a shame to marinate it, salt and pepper is all it needs.. we originally got these guys to use on heifers, but this may we may select certain cows to put with them.I would have to use AI.... couldn't stand to look out in the pasture and see a wagyu bull.
However, I wouldn't mind trying it on one cow and putting the resulting calf in my freezer.
