Welp...Some days go as planned...and others..? - FlyingClayDisk - 06-27-2022 Some days go as planned, and other days, well...not so much. Got up this morning; lots to do. Had to get the stock trailer all ready to go to deliver a bull tomorrow morning. Figured we'd get everything ready to go early so there were no "rodeos" before sun up trying to load a 3 year old bull. Got hooked up, backed up the trailer to the loading alley and chute. Seemed like a really relaxed day. The plan was to get the bull locked in the corrals tonight, and then it would just be a simple matter of loading him up through the tub, alley and chute into the trailer in the morning tomorrow. The bull had other ideas. To make a long story short, the 'rodeo' we had hoped to avoid went off per the bull's plan, up to and including him deciding to declare war on a full sized diesel UTV with bull-bars, and my wife, and me. Then to go into ultra-freakout-psycho mode where anything (and everything) was a target. Handling adult bulls is always dangerous, but there comes a point where you have make a decision between risking a human life, or taking that of an animal. Tomorrow morning, well, there will not be a bull delivery. And, I will just be waiting for the livestock recovery service to call us and tell us when they will be by to recover the carcass. Kind of a shame really, a 1,900 lb. animal like that, but sometimes you get the bull...and other times the bull leaves on a flatbed winch-truck (because ain't nobody gettin' the horn as long as I'm boss!)

Sound like one hell of a barbecue to me !! Well, it does sound that way, but unfortunately it's not that way in reality. First of all, the whole ordeal is a pretty high-stress situation for all involved, especially the animal, and high-stress doesn't lead to good eats when it comes to meat. Secondly, you'd have to dress the animal immediately, and cool the meat down which, unless you have a refrigerated semi-trailer, is not an easy task, nor is handling that much meat. Thirdly, we're talking about a 'bull' here, not a "steer", so unless that BBQ is going to be a bunch of ground meat, and somebody has a couple hogs worth of fat to mix in with it, we'd be talking about some pretty 'gamey' and ultra-lean (i.e. hardly any fat at all) meat. Had it been a cow...or a steer...this would have been a much different story, but unfortunately it wasn't. Adult bulls are only good for two (2) things...pardon the French, but those are fuckin' and fightin'.

We used to have a meat packer load and slice and dice for a sum of money or a large percentage of the meat....but alas that was back in the mid 50s. Mountain oysters at least !! hhaha(06-27-2022, 06:40 AM)727Sky Wrote: Three year old bull with 1900 pounds of meat on the hoof !! Sound like one hell of a barbecue to me !!

This particular bull had failed a semen test about 45 days ago also, so there was just something wrong with this animal. He just went nuts, and a full sized bull is nothing to mess around with; just too dangerous!

RE: Welp...Some days go as planned...and others..? - DuckforcoveR - 06-29-2022 Such a waste of meat, but totally get the situation and the stress comments. I've had entire deer go "bad" seemingly from a bad kill shot that sent them running. Can't help but wonder if the right rub and the right smoker (i.e. mine) could've salvaged a brisket at least... |
