We cooked a filet and two boneless strip steaks&#8230;all from a 10-year old cow.&nbsp; Tenderness and the flavor could not have been better!&nbsp; We have pretty well satisfied ourselves that for our personal eating we\u2019ll stick to the older cows. Will the day ever come when the government does away with the 30-month nonsense?&nbsp; The rule that older cows cannot be butchered goes back to the \u201cmad cow\u201d scare in England.&nbsp; Just what caused it was not conclusively proven but millions of cows were slaughtered \u201cjust in case\u201d. In recent years there\u2019ve been only a handful of cases reported world wide.&nbsp; And we also now know younger goes can carry the disease.&nbsp; Even in England traces of Mad Cow have not been seen for years. Additionally it came a truism that older cows were \u201ctougher\u201d which justified rushing animals to market.&nbsp; It\u2019s all a part of the better living through chemistry which had infected the beef industry.&nbsp; And Bill Gates!
