Ranch brah, good to hear from you as always.

Can confirm the mutilation story. Was widely publicized out here in the early 90’s as dozens of cattle were fukked up across the Spade Ranch. My grandfather’s ranch is just a tad north of the original Spade. No trace of blood, precision cuts. Had some missing tongues and eyeballs also but no sign of a human/animal doing the mutilating.

Ranching is the GOAT life. Shame cowboy culture is made fun of or not taken seriously. There is nothing on this planet like 2,000 acres of peace and solitude. Lol at living in a cookie cutter home on a suburban block with 40 other houses everywhere you look.

Feeding them for their last 45 days makes that hard but you’re on the right track.

How many head you running brah? I do rotational grazing with cattle and pigs. Probably don't have the land you do so gotta be more efficient with what I do have.

I also turned out a wagyu bull on about 30 angus cows this year and have around 20 full blood wagyu cows as well. Excited to see the result but like you said the waiting is the hardest part

Actually we sound very similar, I'm getting into running a gravel pit here as well, and would like to open up a few restaurants to sell my products (dealing with customers coming to your house to buy a few steaks is a huge pain in the ass)

35/85 unless I’m salt aging then I do 35/75 but I don’t do as much salt aging anymore. I really need to get back into it but it seems to go unappreciated in the steakhouse.

I run roughly 600 mother cows and generally have between 75-100 yearling heifers on hand for butchering as well as replacements. I applaud you on doing a first cross, you’ll be very happy with your product, there’s really no better product than a first cross. Myself I’m a bit of a mad scientist so I have 50/50 first cross Hereford/limousin cows (baldies) with 50/50 first cross simmental/angus bulls on them as well as my herd marker wagyu bull. Essentially I get a 4 way first cross which, while essentially terminal, yields AMAZING results as far as rate of gain, rate of yield, yearling height, rib-eye score and most importantly flavor.

Great thread OP, you should post more.

T-bone is my favourite cut, but I've never had them that big. Down here in NZ were all about the grass fed Angus

Been at it my whole life, I’m 36, bought my first ranch at 22. I used the search function to try to find a pic heavy ama I did about 5 years ago but couldn’t. I might give it a try from my desk top, I think you’d really enjoy it.

I sat in a bar all day with a couple néw zealanders and from what I was told and have since read the island is seriously grass heavy but comparatively short on farm land so it would make sense. I spent 2 weeks in Australia once and there wasn’t one time where I thought the beef was remotely tasty.

Yeah we have alot of grass, and it grows 365 days a year which is rare in other parts of the world.

We are a small island nation of 5 million, but produce enough food to feed 40 million so I wouldn't say we are short on farm land.

Hence the word comparatively. New Zealand is top of my list for visiting just to see the agriculture practices if nothing else but covid screwed that up. In 2013 I nearly pulled the trigger on buying a place there, there are days I wish I had.

Mirin lifestyle as always brah. We run a much smaller setup (75-100 total head) but it gives my old man something to do in his "retirement," brings in a little extra money, and is a nice change of pace from the 7-3 when I have the time to go lend a hand.

“It’s a great lifestyle but a piss poor way to make a living” my gramps, hence why I supplement my ranching with other businesses. The days of the rich guy who only ranches are over, profit margin is too thin. Old ranches are losing historical equity left and right because they refuse to adapt.

How are they not profitable? Beef still sells well - is it cost related?

Cost of operation has gone up while prices at sale barns have not. The feeders/packers have a monopoly and manipulate markets in direct violation of federal law but for some reason they go unchecked. They use their money and lobbyists to keep country of origin labeling non existent in the beef industry so they can import garbage meat from Mexico and South America, slap an American flag sticker on it, and sell it at a premium in the grocery store all the while the consumer thinks they are buying American beef which is rarely the case.

Are you able to determine actual cause of death on the mutilations? Does there ever appear to be a struggle?

Obviously with the word mutilation I would deduce that some are beyond recognition but you mention some just have testicles and udders being removed..
The animal would still survive for quite some time on those injuries alone right?

Or are they all pretty violently disfigured?
