A cow in Australia is almost as tall as Michael Jordan and his size actually saved his life

Imagine the size of the brisket you could get off of that thing!  In general, though, the larger the size, the worse the quality of meat in cattle.  We like to butcher ours when they are roughly 800-1200 lbs.  

What kind of seasoning , rub or marinade do you guys use in the panhandle?

Personally, I just like the basics most of the time; black pepper, salt, garlic.  If it is a good quality steak, no reason to go crazy with spices.  
I also throw some blue cheese crumbles on it occasionally.
“Rub With Love” is my go to rib rub if not making my own, and “Allegro” is my preferred marinade, again if I don’t have time to make my own contraption.
How do they do it in Jersey?

Testosterone, hydrocarbons and twang.

The toll that looms, the cows I dread
I buckle, when my judge clutches
Questioning my treatment of an ego underfed

Bulbs of passion."

I don't have much patience for people who are self-conscious about the act of eating, and it irritates me when someone denies themselves the pleasure of a bloody hunk of steak or a pungent French cheese because of some outdated nonsense about what's appropriate or attractive.

Lol, it is probably more productive to just shut your eyes and enjoy a good night of sleep

Good nights sleep... good nights sleep... yeah, I've heard of that before.

There’s nothing wrong with not eating animal meat , meat eaters & vegans have similarities to the religious nut cases they wanna shove their philosophy down other folks throats..
I’m moderate maybe eat steak once a month if that these days ..grains & veggies , fruits are more common for me these days ...

I put salt, pepper and olive oil on my steak and burgers. I rarely make ribs but when I do I marinate with dry rub for 24 hours then slow cook.  I add sweet baby ray s during the last hour of cooking.  Sadly I have never made a brisket. :(

- Ode To a Cow - 

 

When life seems one too many for you, 

Go and look at a Cow. 

When the futures black and the outlooks blue, 

Go and look at a Cow. 

For she does nothing but eat her food, 

and sleep in the meadows entirely nood, 

Refusing to fret or worry or brood, 

Because she doesn't know how. 

 

 

Whenever you're feeling bothered or sore, 

Go and look at a Cow, 

When everything else is a fearful bore, 

Go and look at a Cow. 

Observe her gentle and placid air, 

Her nonchalance and savoir faire, 

Her absolute freedom from every care, 

Her imperturbable brow. 

 

 

So when you're at the end of your wits, 

Go and look at a Cow 

Or when your nerves are frayed to bits, 

And wrinkles furrow your brow; 

She'll merely Moo in her gentle way, 

Switching her rudder as if to say: 

"Bother tomorrow! Let's Live today! 

Take the advice of a cow!"

Sounds like fun!

I used to live near this property that kept a couple of cows that were probably rescue cows.  They were so cool.  I thought, "What if these guys had gone to slaughter?"  That's when I started basically going no red meat. 

Same with pigs.  They're smart and very personable.  Once I got to knowing some pig well, I just couldn't see eating them.

Just remember local by-laws, and clean up after your pet...lol

There a more than we know of that actually do have pigs as pets...I've even seen reports where the pig lives in the house.  Hope the pig is potty trained.  lol

I once saw someone walking a pig on a leash down the streets of Victoria. Freaked my dog right out.
