When you have a nice juicy, great smelling, taste filling and stomach filling steak in front of you on a platter, do you ever think about all the went into that steak before it was put on your table? As a raiser of beef cattle for over 50 years, I am an expert. My family has been involved in raising cattle before the first trail herds came up from Texas. They were trying to improve the flavor of beef before that. Many, many years have gone into the taste and quality of that steak on your plate. Let’s look at this process before you put that mouthwatering piece of meat in your mouth
1. Picking the bull (father) `
2. Picking the cow (mother)
3. Raising the calf (baby)
4. Deciding where the calf goes (feed lot or private)
5. Finishing off weight (getting ready to butcher)
6. Conclusion (perfect)
