Octane question

[pdqdl]

I know a bit about grass fed beef...... I will cordially debate it with anyone. Anyone want pics? I will have to find them in the woods.

How many fine folks think "Certified Black Angus" is great? I will give you some insight

Sure! I have no expertise at all about various flavors of cow-critters, and I promise not to argue about it, either.

As far as that goes, this thread is so far afield of Octane comments, we might as well continue the derail.

No need for pics. What percentage of grass fed beef goes USDA Prime?
Black Angus has excellent marketing...

What type of cattle does "Certified Black Angus" come from?

 

[Bill G]

Dad had 40 head of white faced Herefords right before he died. They were somewhere between pets and beef cattle

That is the way you want them to be. If you hand feed your cows 365 days of the year you will calm many (not all) of them to be more gentle to handle, Most of their calves will also be easier to handle.

Not necessarily from Black Angus cows...

Well it definitely does not come from any cow. Also it has zero to do with Angus.

@ZeroJunk If you ask me that engine was using oil or it wasn't changed very often which could make it use oil also.

I hate it when the 4-mix uses oil......

The AI bot tells me this:

"Certified Black Angus" refers to a specific breed of cattle called Angus, also known as Aberdeen Angus. Angus is a breed of cattle that originated in Scotland and is known for its black coloration, adaptability, marbling, and high-quality beef. When beef is labeled as "Certified Black Angus," it indicates that the meat comes from cattle that meet specific standards set by the American Angus Association or another certifying organization. These standards typically include criteria related to breed purity, black coat color, and other factors that ensure the meat's quality and consistency."​

What octane is the grass that these Angus cattle are fed and how does it affect the marbeling of my t-bone?

 

[pdqdl]

The marbling is more likely attributed to the octane boosting additive Zea mays.

Ah, not quite

You would not want a T bone from a grass fed calf and if you did it sure would not be Certified Black Angus. You want a corn fed animal if you desire a good steak.

Some people argue otherwise, but grass fed beef is low quality garbage.

Yet others praise the quality of their venison. Mutton is quite popular in some circles, too.

Mutton is delicious but fatty

We have the apples here but the beet factory got nixed so the deer are eating corn, apples and wheat (sprouts)
