We read in a hobby farms magazine, that if you let your Bull grow for 6 months without casterating him, then he will naturally put on weight without hormones. We did that with our Holstien's and they weighed in at exactly 13 months at 1100 pounds.That was pasture,hay and grain twice a day. The meat was the BEST we ever had. Very tender!! All Roasts and hamburger was very good. the butcher hung it for 10 days. So, I'm curious still about how the meat tastes on a bull compared to a steer.
By the way, isnt anyone worried about the growth hormone/implant? Anyone worried that people might be getting some of that in your own body?
