I would be amazed that a talking a cow is taking my order and wondering when the acid was going to wear off.

No, but then again, I've never requested that my steak come from a specific breed or age of cow. I wouldn't know what would be a good age or breed, anyway.

Huh, I guess I've never thought about a cows lifespan. Didn't realize that they're full weight at around two years. I assumed that it would take longer.

I recently had steak that came from a Brown Swiss. It was great. However it wasn't from an old milk cow. It was from a Brow Swiss steer raised for beef.

Last time we were in Vegas, we were looking for a new steak house to try. Ran across one that was highly touted/advertised to be the new "best".
Their steak menu consisted of "8-12 oz. Ribeye, selected from 13 yr. old Holstein cows". I raise beef, and custom feed steers for quite a few people...that ain't what we're looking for. We had a cocktail, thanked the waiter, and got up and went somewhere else. If they can convince the masses that 13 yr. old (or 8 yr. old) Holstein ribeyes are something desirable, they've got a hell of a marketing future, is all I can say. Edit to Add... Braum's, a burger chain that also sells lots of dairy products, has probably the best burgers of any burger joint I have ever tried -- and I believe they use only cull dairy cattle for their burgers. But, they're NOT serving steaks. |

Some of the tastiest beef I've had is from a jersey steer. Dairy cattle taste fine, just don't have as much meat under the hide.

I'd give it a shot. I've heard people say the best steak they ever had was aged well and from an old bull. I know I prefer the taste of meat from an old buck over that of a young deer. Sure the young deer is more tender, but the older deer has more flavor.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-new-trend-in-steak-old-beef-11564997401 Seriously? Restaurants are actually trying to sell old beef (dairy) as a European experience. I grew up on a dairy farm. Much of the meat me had was from old dairy cows. Let me tell you....IT SUCKS! When we used to complain about how tough it was, dad would say, "it'd be a hell if a lot tougher if there wasn't any". Dad always has a way with words. |

For the Euro market, they tend to like a lean cut. Same with horse meat, very lean.
In the US, we tend to prefer a ton of intra muscle fat for the flavor in our beef. The grass fed market in the US produces a product somewhat similar to the Euro market preferences. Dairy cows tend to have very lean cuts. Except Jerseys. Jersey's tend to have a ton of intra muscle fat, but are smaller framed, and as a result, smaller cuts of meat. |

Dairy cow fat tastes different in my opinion. Put Jersey bulls on large frame Charolais cows, and feed them out like a traditional beef breed, and the the output can be fantastic. But you would likely get the same result with traditional beef breeds with less inputs and/or higher average weight gain per pound of inputs. |

Another point...This is pure marketing. There is no movement by the public to have this product. This is a high end restaurant that is selling a "premium" product. People with money will buy it and claim it's great, because they just dropped a ton of money on it.

That's pretty much what you got in Idaho Falls until the mid 90s. They called it "prime". Better quality restaurants started serving Kansas/Nebraska prime until mad cow disease doubled or tripled the prices. Raising your own beef(food in general) is common here and the local palet did not sophisticate until very recently.
Dairy cow's have no/little flavor even tho fed high protein diets. Laying Hens are similar, giving their energy to egg production. |

The certified Angus thing is kind of a marketing ploy, if not a scam.
Angus is great beef, no doubt, but it comes in all grades from dog food to prime. And, numerous other "beef" breeds produce similar quality, both great quality and shit. And, and, there can be as much variation within a breed as there is between some breeds. Big part of the equation (if not the single most important part of the equation, assuming a decent animal to begin with) is how it is feed out. Poorly finished Angus is indistinguishable from poorly finished Hereford or Beefmaster. Personally, I will take an F1 of any beef breed crossed with another beef breed. |

While I wouldn't have any reservations about eating an 8 year old Holstein, I would turn it into things like stew meat, jerky, shredded beef for tacos/burritos, or other cuts that would be used for very slow, long cooking times that would break down the toughness a little more while still leaving the meat useful.
