Is Ground bull meat strong tasting?

Is it bad?

Normally just dry and a little rubbery. How much depends on how old they are and what kind of condition they are in

Normally need tallow from a fat beef to mix with it or it can be too lean to fry. At least a mature bull

I haven't gotten any to butcher but my last 2 salvage cows were LEAN they weren't putting on any weight hardly any fat on them one had serious water retention issues and was blind and the other I think a very twisted up stomach and the meat is fine , they were young

I'd cut it and grind it , I bet it is edible and if not you have a day invested in finding out

cubed and canned I am not sure you could get a cow or bull not edible.

sure would be nice to work on a cow/bull not covered in mud and manure for once but free meat is free meat , that is why it is salvage

Hot dogs and bologna is the main use of bull meat. Young bulls with good fat can make burger

Just considering making / selling burger

Best steaks I ever had a long with other cuts was from an 1800 pound Holstein bull. We grained him a lot along with pasture. He never had cows around him. I sold half and they loved it. Wasn't strong at all. I have raised worse meat from cut Angus and simmentals.

The people we used to buy breeding bulls from would only eat bull meat, they said as long as they never worked they were fine, if you’re just grinding it I would think it shouldn’t be too bad in hamburger you buy in a store there’s probably bull meat in it, usually packers don’t care where the meat comes from as long as it’s cheap it grinds.

back-straps and tenderloins always seem worth saving , biscuit probably on a bull of that size

grind the rest

and don't forget the OX tail and Soup bones , so may soup bones

Best bet is to get a steer that identifies as a bull.

Had a bull break his hip when he slipped breeding a cow. Had a Vet check him out. There was no saving him she said to butcher him. Had him ground into burger very tasty and no strong taste or odor while cooking. Eric

A friend of mine, who retired from the Agricultural Science Department at Ohio State, who now raises beef cattle, told me that most cull, older Angus bulls are sold ground up at fast food restaurants that serve certified Angus beef.

My Uncle used to raise a young bull solely for butchering. He preferred it.

And there'speople in the world that will eat bugs to survive .
We're getting TOO -spoiled!

Golden arches special.....certified AAA beef

I went to a cattle auction many years ago, the cull, broke down, busted hip dairy cows were bid up by buyers that sold ground meat to the fast food industry, as long as they could get the cow to the ring it was all good.I can assure you most of those cows had no fat and were highly stressed...but McDonalds got cheap meat....Can't imagine a youngish bull could be worse then that.

This is our Bull he bred 3 cows this year and is 4
We can not get a butcher date until spring 2023

Or he'll breed the 3 cows again and we'll decide then.

* crowheart. I'd take that bull also

I like bull meat the best. A young bull fed like a steer is my favorite. People eat old bull moose, old bull elk, old bull bison and they brag how great it is and those animals live much tougher lives.

It all depends on ageing, and how it's put up.
Had beef that tastes like cardboard , used a marinade , it was better.
Had venison that others wouldn't eat after marinating , yet loved it with just butter,salt and pepper.
I've never had a problem with any beef that we butchered on the farm by ourselves.
