Milk cow - holstein ground beef

[archeryrob]

My daughters BF is friends with some milk farmers. They had a cow "go down" probably bad hip and they were just going to shoot it and push into the compost pile. He lifted it onto his trailer and took it to the butcher. They processed it and I got to say if some of the best ground meat I have had. Clumps great for hamburgers, is not overly fatty.

I was over there one day and they spoke about building a cooler. I was like "I've done that already, you need help?" Might help and get a discount on my beef.

I grew up eating dairy beef because they were cheap to raise and they were delicious. The fat is more rich because of being milk cows. Only real downside is Holstein has a large bone frame so you pay for more bone weight than say angus.

Jersey cows are delicious to but their fat can be or have a yellow tinge, that turns people off but their fat is very rich and delicious.

Farmers out here only have Holstien and some added swiss brown for higher cream levels.
