I had read that if you want the best tasting beef not to let them graze at all, grain only, I wondered if others had this experience too. I hadn't heard that. Also our last cow the butcher said cow was tall but not very fat, he wouldn't give much info on how to make the cow fatter. Can you tell me? He needed more marbling [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] . He was our first one. We only raise them for our family and we raise one at a time. We have horses that they can see for companionship. Last thing, I heard the females are supposed to be called the cows, but what are the beef males called? Thank you.
