Hi
Interesting detail on the grass-fed beef and all. This got me thinking, I've never seen a hide from Tandy or Springfield leather with a brand on it. The only guy I know that's still in the business has his ear tagged with big numbers you can see quite a ways off.
In theory the Waygu beef and Kobe beef are pampered, but Wikipedia doesn't mention it. Drinking Sake all day and getting rub downs twice a day sounds nice. Going to the slaughter house as a reward, not so much.
I do know from personal experience that plain old Herefords in a 15 x 30 yard confinement have an odor that tops that of a bunch of piglets in the same space. It seemed to me that the stench got in the thicker fur on the cattle and fermented.
Given a choice in the matter, being a retired race horse looked a lot better. Rolled oats with Sorghum, a swimming pool, rub downs AND you get put out to stud...
Happy Saturday Y'all
