[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 838129, member: 14334"] Heifers are supposed to be more tender to eat than steers. Bulls are usually castrated to be steers, as easier to keep and fatten up losing the bullish look. Over here we have a thing called 3 day sickness. We 'blood' them against ticks, so that means if a cow goes down that it can get up. If tick fever they will go down and not get up. 3 day sickness can just look like a lame beast. Or it could have been kicked by another calf or could have mud and sticks in its hoof. It could be anything. [/QUOTE]
