My understanding is that steer is a castrated male, and cow usually refers to a heifer (female). Depending on feed, range conditions, et cetera, there is little to no discernable difference in the meat, except that a heifer might have slightly higher fat content in the muscle tissues (which is actually desirable for many cuts).

2023年11月6日 · Not that we don't want more beef - just it's too much. Buying the half cow would cost more than anything I buy at Walmart. If you're buying the grass fed organic beef at the grocery store, then buying a half cow makes sense. Otherwise, shop the …

Steer are male cattle that have been castrated and typically raised with the intention of being raised for beef production, often before reaching sexual maturity. The removal of testes makes the male cow grow differently, it becomes more docile and easier to manage, and less likely to fight in high density feed lots.

A bull is a male cow. A bison is a species related to cows that is native to North America. A buffalo is one of many species related to cows native to Africa or Asia. And unlike every other post here, get it together people, an ox is a job description, not a species. They are the same species as the "normal" cow or bull, just trained to do ...

2013年11月9日 · Chromexcel is leather (usually cow, but can be horse too) that's tanned twice. First veg tanned, and then chrome tanned. This lets it retain the oils, and gives it a beautiful, smooth finish. It's a pullup leather, which means that unlike most other leathers, it gets lighter with age. This is because the oils wear away at the stress points.

2016年4月11日 · The gender-neutral term for cattle is "oxen," and either "bull" or "steer" for male. Children learn the neutral word "sheep," a species in which the males are "rams" and the females are "ewes." However, children are mostly taught the word "cow" (and into adulthood, most English speakers in the U.S. would identify a bovine animal as a cow rather ...

2022年4月10日 · Beef could be cow or bull Buffalo isn't usually served. When served, it's not the same as African/Asian buffalo. Usually the buffalo is bison. Additional info: there are very different responses on whether the most commonly served is a cow, bull, castrated bull (steer). Edit at 140 response: By a rancher: It's usually a steer.

2022年12月13日 · I buy a 1/2 cow a year for my family and donate/give away some of the ground beef. We go through it all in about 9-10 months, supplementing with other meats and stretching with noodles and rice. Hanging weight is what you pay for, not take home weight. So in that case, hanging weight of a 1/2 cow might be 400lbs, but take home weight more like ...

2022年8月24日 · However, I love my steerhide jacket for colder weather. Cow definitely has better insulation properties and just feels so cozy and warm with no other layering required. It also has a really buttery-soft feeling when new (horse, when new can feel a bit hard and shiny and takes years to break-in) Horse looks better, Cow feels better.

Used to grown up with cattle farming, this is all totally reasonable. The cow was a bit expensive and the meat level is slighlty lower, but these things very quite a bit-- you aren't going to the super market where you can get the steaks with all the chunky hard fat already cut off and see exactly how much meat there is, you don't know exact yield before the butchering is done and it …
