I'm sorry to hear that Bessie didn't work out. Dairy cows aren't
supposed to make good beef so I'd be interested to hear a report
on the product once you get aroudn to eating some of it.


most of the mince in the US is old dairy cows... it's cheap.


Bessy is in the freezer. I have not had any of the beef yet. But bessy was
less than two years old. I think the beef will be fine. Perhaps a little
longer on the marinade.


When it comes to meat, the age of the animal from which it comes really
doesn't ahve a lot to do with how good the beef is - it's all about breed
(and Bos type). The exception to this is veal, but that's about as rare as
rocking horse manure these days.
