I have made a 16 year old cow into hamburger and it was the best hamburger I ever ate, so I did another one that was 9 years old and it tasted worse than cardboard. I asked my butcher why. He told me that it depended on the health of the cow. The 16 year old was in beautiful shape and had raised 15 calves, but she prolapsed her vagina during the last pregnancy, so I didn't want to put her through that again. The 9 year old quit eating hay so I fed her up with only grain and the butchered her, so I guess there was something wrong with her stomach. I don't have cattle anymore, only sheep, but I buy a 3 year old heifer that never bred from a neighbour every year for beef. It is a little more chewy than grain fattened beef, but has more flavor. If you cow has not been sick during all of this I wouldn't worry about it at all, but if she has, I would let McDonalds have her. You might get away with saving the best steaks for steaks anyway. I kept the tenderloin from the 16 year old cow. It was delicious, but a little chewy. Hope this helps, Harv
