[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1836340, member: 25884"] The inferior part in quotes goes back to some comments made in another post about how when people breed something like corriente's, (or the ones that are dairy x beef), to a beef breed (angus was originally referred as well as some of the ultra blacks and brangus) and then marketed the calves, that we were being dishonest and putting an inferior product out there..misleading the buyers... which I have NEVER purposely done.... Sorry, I was just quite peeved over the whole thread and the implications of "passing off" what were referred to as inferior animals, for "high dollar prices" and my reputation was obviously not of any concern to do so... so I just had to throw that in here about it being inferior animals... I just got some beef from a dairy farmer that killed a steer out of my 1/2 guernsey, 1/2 holstein cow... that he bred to a red/white holstein bull... and it is marbled better than anything and he said you can cut it with a fork.... I am going to take some pictures and can't wait to try it. Plus it was a huge steer... just under 2 yrs old... and hung at about 1200 lbs... I saw the animal live, and they have pics..... the butcher said he did not want to do another one that big... and he said it would be tough... and my farmer said he took a piece to the butcher because he had to prove how FANTASTIC it was.... So it is a little bit of a feather in my cap and I had to just take the opportunity to get that "jab" in there about the inferior.... I have been eating jersey and jersey cross beef for over 40 years... it is the best in my opinion; right up there with guernsey beef... [/QUOTE]
