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'.
