    a bull that never got weaned one year on

    Im no farmer but I raise a few animals for my team each year for our freezers out of my hand reared quiet kiwi crosses that are mostly fresian
    I put the nabours hereford/limozine bull over them about two years back and got a pair of bull calves

    Iv been waiting for over a year for the mothers to self wean/ kick off their calf which they havent and now the bulls are bigger than the cow mothers
    man they grow quick when they have endless food and milk to drink

    anyway they last years calves august and september and still nursing. mothers have endless grass to eat so are in fantastic condition as well

    my question is will they taste better than just grass fed?
    im tempted to try one to see but id like to know if its going to be a major mistake
    the only difference is they are still drinking milk but will that make the beef bad in any particular way

    iv got a steer that is a year older that could still use a little growing time and basically bulls are a full year younger and basically the same size

    they are also a little troublesome bieng entire bulls with horns so im a little motivated to eat it earlier than I should and am wondering if it is going to be similar to a veal type set up
