NCND | Well always keep over something to butcher, but this year something got mixed up and everything went, I had a 750 steer picked out and Dad said we are keeping the frozen eared one. Well when loading trucks they all got loaded. I have a 6 year old Bull that I could make into burger, I would guess he isn't 2000# but close to it. How good would it be and how much burger will I get out of it. For the most part I just want burger. |

NE Iowa | Haven't done it with a bull that old, but have butchered a 2-3 year old bull that got hurt, and it was great meat. |

northwest tennessee | Why? You are gambling with a lot of money and the meat might not be good. I was told most older bulls go in bologna, etc. |

Upper Midwest | If I were you, I would sell the bull and buy back a hanging half fat steer. |

WY, OK | Did it once with one about that age that had a bad attitude. I'll never eat bull again after that. Even the sausage tasted bad. |

Casey IL. ( I -70 ) then south on rt.49 | I second the idea of selling him and buying back a fat calf. |

ne ne mo | If you just want hamburger, feed an open cow for about 30 days and grind her up. |
|

|
| Had a 5 year old good cow break a leg while working them decided to clean and grind for ground meat. Let's just say what wasn't gave away dogs ate well for a while. Sell the bull buy fat steer. |
