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.

You explained nothing we all didn't already know... and it's you who
does all the arguing, all based on pure lunacy and a super inflated
ego... milk cow is not a breed, milk cows are of all breeds too. There
is no way you're a farmer, you prove that with every post you make...
you've never seen a farm except in picture books. Btw, a two year old
cow that's never produced milk will yield excellent meat. It was
wiser to butcher her now than to risk allowing her to age another year
and become dog food.
