You must've had a dark cutter(the one you threw to the bears)It happens sometimes,usually a riled up one just before they get shot,some tend to stiffen up and won't bleed out good.They taste like sh"t cause of all the blood still in the meat,but feed can also influence the taste. Older breeding bulls don't make good eating either.
It takes a bit of know how how to select a good one for the freezer,If it is the right animal even a older cow can be as good as a young steer.
Tastes differ, but i like the limousin and Belgian blue the best,the more muscle they show the better,they have the most carcass yield of any breed,up to 85% hanging weight.
I had once a 1430 lb(live weight)double muscle limousin steer,hot hanging weight was still 1125 LB,i ended up with just shy of 1000 lb in the freezer(bone out)> And that was after 14 days hanging.Hardly any fat,more like a bison.
If you fill the freezer with the same animal,you'll have to eat too so you want good meat. I would never buy a 1/2 without having seen the animal alive and witnessed the kill. don't ever buy an animal that is rangy and flighty,you'll end up being unhappy with it,unless one can drop it while its quietly grazing.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
