He'll spend about a week in the catch pen so he learns where his food is, then he can go out in the pasture and meet his new donkey "friends".

    He is a Balancer breed. It is a cross between an Angus and something else that I cannot remember. The meat is like an Angus but they are not nearly as temperamental. Angus beef are a pain in the ass to raise.

    Angus are great meat, but damn they are mean! The first year we did round up here, after we moved here, the herd was all Angus. Those pricks not only wanted to kill us, but when they would just injure us, they would back up and try to finish the job!

    These Balancers seem a lot better.

    My last heifer was black angus, white park, and charolaise mix. Wasn't too bad, still a little goofy...

    What gets me is the folks who brag up grass fed beef, the meat has hardly any marbling. Whatever breed, they need to be finished off on corn to get decent meat.

    Worked packing houses and locker plants for many years. This talk about how good lean meat is, is b.s., like that will make it taste better. NOT.

    Agreed. I am not a fan of 100% grass fed. I guess some folks like it but not me.
