[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 1207703, member: 14878"] Here is another thought and where my mind goes. If those on here that say a old cow ain't worth spit and is only good for jerky, then how good are your genetics really? Now I realize cull cows are not a priority with commodity producers, but to a direct marketer this is a huge profit center. Even homesteader types that like eating what they spent blood, sweat, and often tears raising. One of the benefits to moderate cattle that have moderate milk production is the carcass of those cows after you want to cull them. I haul mine in after they have been nursing for 7 months and they are in good flesh. Every time my butchers right hand man comes out at my pick up days and tells me that it was a shame to grind most thoe cows. He says they look better than what he serves his family. These are 8,9, or older cows. Same goes for my herd bulls of the same age. I get a roughly 80/20 grind without any trim added back in. My customers go spastic after eating this type of ground and then my 2 year olds taste bland to them. If you are a direct marketer this something to ponder. [/QUOTE]
