Hi everyone. My brother and I just processed our first bull from our small heard of Scottish Highlanders in Duchess County. The meat came back looking absolutely delicious. We have it for sale on my brothers farm on RT 308 in Rhinbeck NY. We are selling it by the cut and it is priced very reasonably. It is 100% grass fed... feel free to give me an email for details on where the farm is. 2/10/10 Ryan eggsnbutter@yahoo.com

Bulls vs Steers....Our bull was intact when butchered. I believe the main reason bulls are clipped when used in meat production is that once they are fixed they put on weight quicker. . They also remain more docile without their hormones raging. I think that when butchering any male animals (pigs, goats, sheep) that are still intact the main concern is to to do a clean job around the male organs because if you cut into them they give off a horrible smell and it could secrete onto the meat and taint the taste. Our Bull has come out absolutely delicious our Slaughterer/Butcher did a really good job. I think throughout time poorly skilled butchers have given intact male meat a bad reputation. Me and my brother are just getting into raising our own cows and we are going to be turning our young bulls into steers( a job no one wants) so they put on weight better but we do plan to keep one good bull around. We are in the market for one now...

Thanks Ryan. We were talking at the NP Food Conference about bulls vs. steer. Are your bulls in tact? How does the meat taste? Conventional thought says steer are the best, but no one at the conference had tried meat from an in tact bull.
