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).

Actually you have it exactly opposite... feed being equal breed
matters very little but age determines tenderness and flavor.

I know you have always like to argue Sheldon so I'll explain why I said what
I did. We're discussing Bessie. Bessie is 2. In the case of Bessie, which
is a dairy cow, then her meat won't be as good as a beef breed of the same
age.

Here it would be a little on the chewy side, since the avg. age here for
slaughter is 18 mo. which will have more meat and less bone. Been there
done that, won't do it again.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
