[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1994"] In our herd we have 2 old cows that are Angus/Hereford. We've used Angus, Charolais, Santa Gertrudis and Limousin bulls on them. We've always got atleast 1 bull calf out of them. So far the tenderest has been a tossup between a 3yr. old black-baldy, heifer(dikey) that weighed close to a ton or a 3yr. old black steer that was bigger. He broke some bolts on the butchers truck. Our pasture isn't irrigated but there's plenty of it. So in the Spring when the grass is at it's peak, the steer is as fat as he's going to get. They're usually quite large by then too. We put him in a pen, he's accustomed to, with alfalfa hay and a bucket of grain and then the butcher arrives. So there is no stress at all on the steer, he's happily munching away. We get enough tender meat to last us a year plus a few friends and they think they're getting grain-fed beef. And it's cheap. [email=RibbonSo@aol.com]RibbonSo@aol.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
