    Terrible tasting/ smelling beef

    I would say it hung to long , turned sour , I got a steak at a steak house one time that the minute it was put on the table I could smell it , I called the waiter, she said she could smell it, It had a very distinct sour smell to it

    Annual Cost per Cow

    lots of veriables in it , we have alot of cattle on hog farms in eastern NC so we have grass, and fertilizer as a consiquence of the hog farm, so we convert hog waste to grass to beef, I figure I can carry a cow as cheap as it can be done , it still is expensive ,
