“...the chain with the famed cattle urging “Eat More Chikin”...”
The funny thing about those commercials was the cattle were not beef cattle...
They were diary cows....
Yeah, but most of us who would go to a Chik-Fil-A are backward rubes and two stoopid to know. Madison Ave mind set.
I didn't know cows could even hold pencils, much less write...
Bottom line... Chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce. Those weird potatoes on the side... very tasty. With sweet tea
So what happens to a milch cow when she no longer gives milch?
And they're tough to eat.
For the last 50+ years, my grandfather, and now my uncle, raised a small number of beef cattle (usually white-faced Black Angus steers, but there were some variations in the breed) for butcher every year. These were usually sold to friends/family by the hanging half.
The family has always used the same butcher, with no problems. One year, however, there was an old dairy cow brought in by a small owner/operator. It was to be butchered and all turned into hamburger.
Well, somewhere along the line, a side of one my uncle's beef steers got mixed up with a side from the dairy cow.
It only came to light when some folks who wound up with dairy cow instead of beef steer meat mentioned that the steak was tough and flavorless. I'm not sure how they sorted it out with the butcher, but my uncle has not stopped using the company.
The general public have no clue on the difference between Holsteins and Herefords.
Some of the experts here dont either. Any dairy farmer will tell you that there isnt really any such thing as a dairy cow, they are all on loan from the beef industry and eventually have to go back.
People don’t eat the males of the dairy cow breeds?
